Recipe: Leberknodel (Liver Dumplings) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart’s letters preserve many mundane facts about his life, including his daily schedule and love of billiards and fart jokes. We know that Mozart loved his food, particularly liver dumplings with sauerkraut. If you were an Austrian in the Classical and Baroque eras, you were not a light eater.

The liver dumplings that Wolfgang preferred to eat were the fried liver dumplings, which are still today on the menus of restaurants in Salzburg. These dumplings are not cooked and put in soups, but deep fried in clarified butter and served with sauerkraut. — Kurt Palm

Leberknodel (Liver Dumplings)

250g beef liver
3 stale rolls
250 ml milk
100g butter
1 small onion
1 egg
salt, pepper
marjoram, parsley
100g bread crumbs

Pour milk over the rolls and work it in. Chop the onion and sauté it in butter. Mix the rolls, finely chopped liver and spices together. Make into a dough. Form the dumplings and fry them in hot vegetable oil and serve with sauerkraut.

* Dough made of bread, the crumbs of bread rolls, or semolina must be allowed to “rest” for a while in order to absorb moisture.

Quote:

The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between. Mozart
