For the dumplings, cut the rolls into cubes. Finely chop the onion and parsley, fry in butter. Mix with flour in a large bowl, add salt, pepper and nutmeg (freshly grated). Add onion-parsley mixture. Mix the two eggs in milk, let stand for 10 minutes.

Form a sausage from the mixture, wrap in plastic wrap and seal tightly. Cook in boiling water for about 25 minutes.

Season lentils with cumin, salt and pepper only at the end. Continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes. Then mix in crème fraîche.
