Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté the chicken meat until golden brown. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
2
In the same fat, sauté the chopped onion. Once translucent, add the carrot, parsley root and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes so the vegetables lightly caramelize.
3
Return the meat to the pot, pour in the stock and add the bay leaf, marjoram, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the dumpling batter: in a bowl, whisk the egg with a fork, add the oil, salt and spelt semolina. Mix well and let rest for at least 10 minutes (this is the key to softness).
5
Add the peas to the stew. Using a small spoon, drop the dumplings into the boiling soup. Cook covered for another 10 minutes over low heat.
6
Before serving, stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
