Carthusian dumplings are an ideal dish to transform rolls that have become too dry into a tasty, warm dish. This recipe comes from the handwritten cookbook by Marie Marx, who was taught, among other things, the art of cooking at the Pensionat Dupré on Heidelberger Strasse in Darmstadt. Originally, the Karthauser dumplings were considered poor people's food. The Carthusians are a contemplative order with an eremitic orientation, founded by Bruno from Cologne at the end of the 11th century, in which the monks live in very strict asceticism. However, this delicious dish has nothing to do with sacrifice and can still be enjoyed today.
