   Preparation


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.
