Ingredients
  

Dumplings:

  • 2 eggs
  • sea salt to taste
  • 6-7 tbsp whole wheat flour or more; the consistency has to be a little bit thicker than sour cream

Stew:

  • 1 big carrot sliced
  • 2 onions chopped
  • 4 Capia peppers chopped
  • 1 400 g can peeled tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsps whole wheat flour dissolved in 1 glass of cold water (add flour first, then pour water over it)
  • 1 bunch parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp hot paprika
  • 2 Tbsps oil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

Dumplings:

  • Fill one pot with water and bring to a boil.
  • Whisk the egg whites until foamy.
  • Add egg yolks and salt.
  • Sprinkle one tbsp of flour at a time over the whisked eggs and incorporate.
  • When the consistency is creamy you’re done.
  • Now to the cooking part:
  • Place a glass filled with cold water right beside you.
  • Take about 1/2 tbsp of dough and slowly place it in the boiling water. The dough will slip off the tablespoon. Don’t fill the whole tablespoon because the dumplings will double their size.
  • Dip the tablespoon in the glass with cold water.
  • Repeat the process.
  • Cover with a lid and let them boil over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • When ready, remove from heat and leave them in the pot until you finish the stew.

Stew:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan.
  • Add chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chopped peppers and sliced carrots.
  • Add salt, pepper.
  • Pour over 1/2 cup of water (just enough to cover all ingredients).
  • Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add chopped tomatoes, bay leaves and hot and sweet paprika.
  • Cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Add dissolved flour and stir for 2 minutes until incorporated.
  • Remove from heat and add chopped parsley.
  • Add dumplings and stir.
