Recipe with step by step pictures

These are called Marrow Bones. You can ask for them at the meat market and are often there in the meat case.

While you are waiting soak the bread in the milk.

These are the roasted bones.

Remove the marrow from the bones and put it in the bowl.

Mix the marrow with a spoon until it is smooth

Here is how I keep my parsley. I keep it in a wide bottom glass of water with a plastic storage bag over the top in the fridge. It lasts for weeks. Take some sprigs off and chop fine

Add the chopped parsely to the marrow.

Add the eggs and flour mix. you don't want a tight dough, bjt just enough flour to hold together.

Take 1 quart of chicken stock and bring to a boil. Make the dumplings about the size of a small nut. they will double in size.

Here is the dumplings simmering. let them simmer for about 15 minutes.

Remove the dumplings, check to see if they are done by feeling for firmness or cut one open to see if the center is cooked.

Remove the dumplings to a pan and reserve till serving
