Title: Drstkova Polevka (Tripe Soup)
Categories: Czech, Soups/stews
Yield: 4 Servings

1 ea Pork leg
3 oz Root vegetables - diced
1 1/4 lb Tripe, frozen - chopped fine
1 ea Garlic clove - crushed
6 c Water
1/2 t Paprika
Salt
1 t Vegetable oil
1/2 c Lard
1 ea Beef bouillon cube

These dumplings serve as an irreplaceable "side dish" for many Czech specialties. They can be made ahead of time and frozen.

• 3 cups white flour
• 3 cups semolina
• 1 whole egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk (or thereabouts)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 baguette / French stick or similar French bread, cubed

Mix the flour, semolina and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and break in the egg. Mix in some milk and the salt: then start mixing in the flour. Stir the dough very hard with a wooden spoon for about ten minutes, adding milk if necessary until bubbles start to form (or mix for several minutes in a food processor, using the plastic blade). Add some of the cubed bread: continue to mix. Keep adding bread until the dough is pretty full of it.
