Step 1
Pour milk over bread cubes in a bowl. Let sit 5 minutes until bread absorbs liquid, then mash into a paste.
Step 2
Combine pork liver, ground pork, milk-bread mixture, minced onion, parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
Step 4
Bring broth to a gentle simmer in a 4-quart pot over medium heat, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Wet your hands. Form mixture into 12-16 oval dumplings, each roughly 2 inches long.
Step 6
Slide dumplings into simmering broth. They should sink, then float after 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Simmer 8-10 minutes after dumplings float. They should be firm but yielding when pierced.
Step 8
Taste and season broth with salt and pepper. Ladle dumplings and broth into bowls.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and black pepper.
