These are the traditional Italian dumplings traditionally served in Xavier Suppe but which can also be used as an addition to a whole range of other soups and stews.

Ingredients:

150g flour
80g butter
150g Parmesan cheese
100ml cream
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 egg
1 egg yolk

Method:

Combine the flour, butter and parmesan cheese in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the butter has melted and is incorporated into the cheese and flour. Add the cream a tablespoon at a time until you have a solid dough. Take off the heat and work in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg and egg yolk. You are aiming for a thick icing-like consistency (ie you should only just be able to pipe it.

If the dough is too solid add a little more cream. Put the mixture in a piping bag with the largest nozzle you have and pipe-out pea-sized balls onto a buttered baking tray and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat some salted water until it boils then drop in the 'dough peas'. Cook for five minutes then remove with a slotted spoon and add to any stew or soup you wish.
