Method
- For the dumplings

- Mix together the egg yolks, ginger, milk, flour, bread rolls and a little salt.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the mixture
- Divide the mixture into greased dariole moulds or even mugs
- Place the mugs in a large wide pan and add water so that it come up to about two-thirds of the sides of the moulds or mugs.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes or until cooked
- You can use a skewer to test this, in the same manner as you would for cakes - it must come out clean
- For the carp
- Melt half of the butter in a flameproof casserole
- Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes
- Add the carrots, parsnips and celeriac and sauté for a further 5 minutes
- Stir in the lemon juice, red wine vinegar and brown ale.
- Add just enough water to cover
- To a bowl, add the peppercorns, allspice, bay, thyme, ginger, lemon peel and a little salt and pepper
- Stir in the pumpernickel crumbs, mix well and add to the vegetables
- Simmer for 15 minutes
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a small pan and sprinkle in the flour
- Cook gently for about 4 minutes and then add the sugar
- Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the sugar caramelises
- Gradually ladle all of the stock from the casserole into the flour mixture
- Stir well and then pour back into the vegetables
- Add the raisins, prunes and nuts.
- Adjust seasoning
- Place the carp steaks in top of the vegetables and cook for 12-15 minutes
Variations
Carp isn't too easy to get in the UK, so you could use sea bream instead
