Pelmeni are a beloved traditional Russian dish, known for their deliciously tender meat filling encased in a thin, delicate dough.

Pelmeni are versatile and can be filled with various meats, including beef, pork, or a mixture of both, offering a satisfying balance of protein, fat, and carbs. An ideal comfort food, pelmeni can be enjoyed at any time of the day and fit perfectly into meals when you're seeking something hearty yet not overly heavy.

Cooking Time: 3-5 minutesPreperation Time: Approximately 1 hour

Preparing the Dough

Start by sifting approximately 100 grams of flour into a large mixing bowl. Gradually add water and a pinch of salt, mixing continuously until a smooth dough forms. The amount of water needed can vary, so add it slowly until the dough is elastic but not sticky.

Making the Filling

Finely chop approximately 20 grams of onion and mix it with around 75 grams of ground meat (beef, pork, or a mix). Season with salt and any additional spices you like, such as garlic or pepper, to taste.

Forming Pelmeni

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's thin. Cut out small circles using a glass or cookie cutter. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal.

Cooking Pelmeni

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pelmeni and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they float to the surface. Ensure not to overcrowd the pot to prevent sticking.

Serving

Serve the boiled pelmeni hot with a side of approximately 30 grams of sour cream for dipping.
