Bread dumplings are a dish that every Austrian knows from dinners at grandma’s house. Traditionally made with eggs, these are held together with ground flax seeds. Fresh cranberries, parsley, and chopped almonds not only make these dumplings festive and pretty to look at, but they also taste amazing. Served alongside a red wine mushroom sauce, the two go together like no other. Add them to your holiday spread, or alongside a veggie loaf, or just make them on their own.

How to Prepare Cranberry Bread Dumplings With Red Wine Mushroom Sauce [Vegan]
To Make the Dumplings:
- Make the flax eggs by whisking together 2 tablespoons of flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water, then set aside to allow it to thicken.
- Next, chop up the onion and heat the vegan butter in a skillet; add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the onions to a large bowl with the bread cubes, salt, chopped parsley, cranberries, and almonds. Mix well, then add the soy milk and the flax eggs.
- Start massaging the soy milk into the mix until it gets soggy and it forms a dough-like texture. Then, knead a little bit with your hands to allow it to come together properly.
- Divide the dough into six parts and form the dumplings using your hands. Wrap them each up in aluminum foil and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Add them to your steam cooker or steam pot and steam cook for 20 minutes when ready to make them.
To Make the Sauce:
- Heat some oil in a skillet over medium/high heat, chop the onion, cook until translucent, chop the garlic and mushrooms, and add to the skillet. Once the mushrooms are cooked, deglaze the pan with red wine.
- Then, add the coconut milk and the remaining ingredients. Stir well and let it simmer to reduce until the sauce gets your desired texture.
