Today I prepared the Austrian Dumplings Bread in broth, or the Speckknoedel Suppe. A typical dish of Tyrol, that is a portion of the territory that extends between Austria and Italy. In Italy, they are known as Canederli. They are large meatballs prepared mainly with stale bread, eggs and speck cubes, usually served in a tasty vegetable or beef broth.
I had never prepared them or even eaten them, and I must say that I was really surprised. Because they are really easy to prepare, but above all they are perfect! Initially I thought it was a full-bodied dish given the size and compact appearance of the meatballs. Instead, they are light and after having eaten three of them I would have gladly eaten others.
