2. Take heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture and use your hands to roll into balls, placing the dumplings in a single layer on a plate or tray as you roll. Cover and refrigerate until required.
3. Bring the consommé to a gentle simmer, add the dumplings then cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until just cooked through. Serve immediately, topped with the parsley.
