Dumplings with mushrooms and sour cream sauce

Preparing a delicious starter is no problem at all with Vindija’s products because when they are among the ingredients, you know that you will get an excellent first course. 



Preparation  /    50 min
  • Fry the thinly sliced leek on a half of the butter for about five minutes. 
  • Add thinly sliced mushrooms and sauté for another five minutes until the liquid has reduced and season with salt and pepper.  
  • Fill the potato dough with the mushroom filling by shaping dumplings the size of apricots.
  • Plunge the dumplings in salted boiling water and cook gently for about 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Drain and place in an ovenproof dish. 
  • Melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour until smooth. Continue stirring as the flour cooks to a light, golden colour, then pour in stock and sour cream.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes, add the herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Pour the hot sauce over the dumplings. 
Serving suggestion
Serve the dumplings on a bed of fresh, seasonal radicchio, to which you can add some fresh garlic.
