Description
Bring the comfort of traditional German and Austrian cooking to your table with Werner’s Serviettenknödel XL, delicious bread dumplings conveniently prepared in cooking bags. Made with bread cubes, eggs, onions, parsley and seasonings, these hearty dumplings have a tender texture and savory flavor that complements roasts, stews, mushroom sauces and rich gravies.
Unlike round potato dumplings, Serviettenknödel (napkin dumplings) are traditionally formed into elongated loaves, cooked and cut into thick slices. Their broad surfaces are particularly good at absorbing sauces, making them a favorite accompaniment to German Schweinebraten, Sauerbraten, goulash and creamy mushroom ragout.
Werner’s convenient XL foodservice package contains 10 dumpling loaves in cooking bags, providing approximately 40 servings. With no mixing, kneading or shaping required, they are an excellent choice for restaurants, caterers, holiday gatherings and families who enjoy traditional German meals.

Bring the water to a boil and continue cooking at a gentle bubbling boil for approximately 8 minutes with the pot uncovered.
-
Remove the dumplings and briefly rinse the cooking bags under cold water.
-
Tear open each cooking bag along its long edge.
