Vegan Semmelkn\u00f6del, or bread dumplings, are soft, simple and made to soak up sauce. The perfect side dish for stews, gravies or mushroom dishes.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\nSpringe zum Rezept<\/a>\n\n\n

Lena leaned on the counter of her food truck, watching the stall across the square set up for the evening rush. The owner Barry, a stocky guy with a booming laugh, specialized in rich mushroom gravies and lentil stews and ever since they\u2019d shared too many beers the week before, the two had been locked in a loud, good-natured rivalry. \u201cIt\u2019s on,\u201d Lena muttered, as he hoisted up his signboard.

So every morning, the battle began. Lena hollered, \u201cFresh dumplings are the tastiest of things!\u201d He bellowed back, \u201cThe best stew you ever knew!\u201d Soon they were yelling over each other with increasingly ridiculous slogans. \u201cDumplings that pull on heartstrings!\u201d \u2026 \u201cWinnie the Pooh would ditch honey for my stew!\u201d Customers lined up just to watch the spectacle.

Still, Lena couldn\u2019t shake the look of the few who studied her chalkboard and walked away, unimpressed by potato, leek, kimchi or mushroom. It gnawed at her. That night, she started experimenting with a plain dumpling. No fancy filling, just bread, herbs and onion rolled into soft little rounds. On their own, they seemed humble, almost too plain. But paired with a spoonful of her rival\u2019s stew, they came alive, soaking up every bit of flavour.

The next day she added \u201cBread Dumplings\u201d to the menu. At first people were sceptical but soon they realised these dumplings weren\u2019t bland at all, they were a blank canvas, ready to take on the flavour of whatever sauce or stew they were paired with. Customers began walking straight from Lena\u2019s truck to the one across the square, dumplings in hand and returned with smiles.

By the season\u2019s end, nobody could remember who had technically won the bet. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
