Tris di canederli

Tris di canederli or Knödel Trio is a Tyrolean dish that features a trio of canederli, which are bread dumplings popular in the northern regions of Italy and southern Austria. Canederli are made from a mixture of stale bread soaked in milk, eggs, and typically combined with ingredients like speck (a regional type of smoked ham), cheese, spinach or beet. The mixture is then shaped into dumplings and boiled in broth or water. Tris di canederli typically present three different varieties of these dumplings, most often the ones with speck, spinach and cheese, although there are many other combinations. They can be served in a broth as a soup or on their own with melted butter and herbs.
