One of the best types of food for a cold late fall/early winter night is Russian food, a warm bowl of Borscht with some bread, or some beef stroganoff with some pasta, or one of my favorites, Pelmeni or Russian/Siberian dumpling.
You need:
- 2 eggs
- 180 g flour
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/4 lb ground mutton
- 1/4 lb ground pork
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sour cream
How to make this:
- You can use a standard round wonton wrap for this, which are just flour and water, but I prefer an eggy-ier dough, so, mix 2 eggs and 180g of flour with a pinch of salt, knead, then press it with a pasta machine or a rolling pin, to about 2 mm or 1/16 inch, them cut them out to a 4 cm or 1.5 inch circle wit ha cookie cutter
- Finely chop the onion, then cook them in a medium high pan with some oil until they turn translucent. Then mix the cooked onion with the ground meat and salt
- Fold the wrap with the filling in them, like the following photos, you can make about 25 dumplings with this recipe:
- Boil them in salted water for about 4 min, meanwhile, heat up a pan with some butter, drain the dumplings, then quickly pan fry them in the butter
- Serve it with some chopped cilantro and sour cream
