For the lentil stew: If using dried lentils, soak them overnight or cook until tender. If using canned, drain and rinse. In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions in a little oil until softened. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then deglaze with red wine vinegar.

Add the cooked or canned lentils to the pot along with the broth and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for at least 45-60 minutes, or until lentils are very tender and the stew has thickened. Add more broth or water if it becomes too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the semolina dumplings: While the stew simmers, prepare the dumplings. Finely chop one of the sautéed onions (or a separate small onion) and sauté in butter until soft. In a bowl, combine the semolina, melted butter, milk, eggs, sautéed onion, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

With wet hands, form small dumplings from the semolina dough. Roll them in a little flour. Bring a separate pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the dumplings and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Do not overcrowd the pot when boiling dumplings. - 5
Serve the hot lentil stew in bowls, topped with the cooked semolina dumplings. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
