Step 1
Heat butter in a small skillet over medium. Add minced onion and cook until translucent, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Remove onion from heat. Cool 2 minutes, then combine with liver, bread, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Mix until just combined—the mixture should hold together loosely. Don't overmix or the dumplings will be dense.
Step 4
Bring beef broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Wet your hands lightly. Form the liver mixture into 12–16 dumplings, each roughly 1.5 inches across.
Step 6
Slide dumplings into simmering broth. They will sink, then float to the surface after 5–7 minutes.
Step 7
Simmer 3 minutes more after they float. The dumplings should be tender and cooked through.
Step 8
Ladle dumplings and broth into bowls. Scatter parsley over the top and serve immediately.
