Tomato Dumplings
This recipe from Sylvia Norris has a different base than a Goulasch or Stew for dumplings. One of my dad's favorite dishes is Stewed Tomatoes with Bread.
The bread of course thickens the tomatoes. This is a different take on the dish where you stew the tomatoes and floate the dumpling batter on top, cover and simmer and then serve. Seems like this would be a great side dish with some Bratwurst, or Schnitzel.
