Sastojci:

Ingredients:

oko 200 gr teletine
5 šampinjona
4 mlade šargarepe
1 peršun
1 paškanat
2 manja ili 1 veći krompir
glavica belog luka
kašičica celerove soli
kašičica brašna
peršun za posipanje
     za knedle:
pola šolje griza
1 jaje
malo ulja
prstohvat soli

approx. 200 g veal

5 white mushrooms

4 baby carrots

1 parsley root

1 parsnip

2 small or 1 larger potato

1 garlic

a teaspoon of celery salt

a teaspoon plain flour

chopped parsley for garnish

     for dumplings:     

1/2 cup semolina

1 egg

a bit of oil

a pinch of salt

Oprati i oljuštiti povrće, iseckati na kockice i staviti u vodu. I šampinjone i teletinu iseckati na kockice. Beli luk izgnječiti.

Wash and peel the vegetables, dice and put in a bowl of water. Dice the mushrooms and the meat. Finely chop the garlic.

Na malo ulja propržiti kratko beli luk, dodati meso, propržiti, dodati šampinjone i još malo propržiti.

Put a bit of oil in a pot, add the garlic and fry briefly. Add the meat, stir fry, then add the mushrooms and fry a bit more. 

Dodati celerovu so, ceo peršun i paškanat i čašu vode. Poklopiti, smanjiti vatru kad provri i krčkati najmanje pola sata, ili dok meso skroz ne smekša.

Add celery salt, the parsley and parsnip root and pour a glass of water. Cover, reduce heat as soon as it boils and simmer for at least half an hour, or until the meat is completely tender.

Kad meso smekša, dodati šargarepu i krompir i naliti još vode da sve prekrije. Pripremiti smesu za knedle.

Once the meat gets tender, add the carrots and potatoes and more water to cover it all. Prepare the dumpling batter.

Umutiti jaje viljuškom, dodati malo ulja i soli, pa postepeno dodavati griza i mutiti dok se ne dobije kompaktna, polu-čvrsta masa.

Whisk the egg, add a bit of oil and salt, and gradually keep adding the semolina and stirring, until the batter is compact and semi-thick.

Kašičicom zahvatati smesu i spuštati u čorbicu. Kašičicu belog brašna razmutiti u malo hladne vode da se napravi glatka smesa, pa dodati u čorbicu, promešati i kuvati još par minuta. Isključiti i servirati, posuti seckanim peršunom.

Scoop the batter with a teaspoon and add it to the soup. Dissolve a teaspoon of plain flour in a bit of cold water and whisk into a smooth mixture, then add to the soup and stir. Cook for a couple of more minutes. Serve and garnish with chopped parsley.
