Wholewheat-Knödel with Mushroom-Pork Sauce
I like to cook a bit more, because you can always use leftovers somehow. But sometimes you have leftovers you have to think carefully about what to do with them. I brought some bread from Switzerland and it was already a bit hard and I didn’t want to turn the leftovers into breadcrumbs. I didn’t want to grind the rest into breadcrumbs. But what do you do with half a loaf? Knödel!
I checked in Cookidoo and found lots of Knödel recipes. So, let’s go ahead and make Knödel. But with these bread dumplings, you need a sauce that packs a punch! Bread is actually bland, so you have to serve something spicy with it.
Mushrooms are always good, I’ve been trying to kill my hubby with them for years, say evil tongues, but he’s immune to poisonous mushrooms. 😊 I still had minced pork, which is also good! So, there was a sauce with lots of spices and chili and my hubby couldn’t stop eating, it was that good!
