Chef tips
To ensure your semolina dumplings are light and fluffy, let the mixture rest in the fridge for 20 minutes before shaping. Add them to a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil to prevent them from breaking apart. Enhance the flavour of the broth by adding parsley root and celery. For a variation, add some finely chopped dill to the dumpling mixture or a pinch of turmeric for a stunning golden colour.
