How to make the Canederli combine the diced bread and speck in a bowl. Sauté the
onion in the butter until it is translucent. Whisk the eggs with some of
the milk, stir in the parsley, and combine the mixture with the bread. Let
rest a half hour.
Set a pot of lightly salted water to boil.
In the mean time, mix the flour, onion, salt to taste,
and if need be a little more milk into the bread mixture. Wet your hands
and shape the mixture into 8 balls roughly the size of golf balls. Simmer
the canederli in the water for about 15 minutes, and in the meantime heat
your broth. Transfer the cooked canederli to the broth with a slotted
spoon, garnish with spring onions, and serve.
Note: If you are not sure you have enough flour in the
mixture begin by cooking one canederlo. If it holds, fine. If it
dissolves, remake the canederli, adding more flour to the bread mixture.
