Used Tiroler bacon last night, in lentil soup. First time I've used it in soup & it will now be the

only one I use. Even at $1 per slice, it was worth it. What a difference.

As a plus over regular packaged stuff, I used to use Ukrainian butcher bacon when it was convenient but this is better.

 
Gee, I Searched for "Tiroler bacon" and got this REC: Tiroler Speckknodel . . .

Sounded really good to me!

Tiroler Speckknodel (Tirolean Bacon Dumplings)

6 stale rolls, cut into cubes
salt
1/4 liter milk
2 eggs
30 g butter
1/2 onion, minced
parsley
chives
3 tablespoons flour
100 g bacon
150 g hard smoked sausage (like pepperoni or summer sausage)
beef stock

Directions:
Salt bread cubes.

Lightly whisk together milk and eggs.

Pour milk-egg mixture over bread cubes.

Stir until moistened, cover and let stand 30 minutes.

Mince bacon and sausage.

Fry bacon.

Saute onion in butter, adding parsley and chives (this is a"to taste" option).

Bring the beef stock to a gentle boil.

Add bacon, sausage, and onion mixture to soaked bread mixture.

Sprinkle with flour.

The mixture should be thick enough to form into 8-12 dumplings (This is done by hand, scoop up a portion of the mixture and press into a ball.) Drop one dumpling into broth and cook about 12 minutes.

The dumplings should rise to the top when they are done.

Cut the first dumpling open and check to make sure it is of the proper consistency.

If it is too hard, add more egg-milk mixture.

If it is too soft and falls apart, add flour.

Add remaining dumplings as space allows, cooking approximately 12 minutes each.

Knödel are served either in broth or over Sauerkraut.

You rang? Mmmmm Speckkn

If you make these, make some extra to have as leftovers. They're excellent sliced and fried the next morning with your eggs for breakfast.

What the heck *does* Speckknodel mean??

 
Marg, you have lots of Mennonites in BC. Lepp Farm Market in Abbotsford is a lovely market

perhaps they have bacon and such that you might like. Many Mennonites came from the Ukraine, like my Mom. Looks like it might be a bit of a drive for you, like an old fashioned "Sunday drive" sort of drive.

I'm checking around. I'd love to find some really o/s garlic sausage. Unfortunately

Abbottsford is a huge drive. Went to a Ukrainian dinner night here. It was pretty good there and I keep meaning to find out their source.

 
Hmm, I've posted umlauts before with no problem...

the post basically said, if you make these, make extra. They're amazing sliced and fried golden brown in your choice of fat for breakfast.
