Pelmeni
Pelmeni are among the best known and most popular traditional dishes of Russian cuisine. Here in Germany, too, these little meat-filled dumplings have become very popular.
Ingredients
- 500 g of ground beef
- 500 g of minced pork
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml of water
- 800 g of flour
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 2 large onions
- 1-2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground pepper
Description
The easiest way for serving pelmeni leads to the freezer: Each supermarket offering Eastern European food has normally several varieties of frozen Pelmeni. But we all know that home-made tastes best. Granted, the recipe is not easy and requires a lot of patience. But it is worth the effort of putting a lot of work into this dish.
The preparation of Pelmeni dough is relatively simple though. Depending on your taste, you can use minced poultry or pure beef or pork mince for the meat filling. And be generous with the onions – they are required for the spicy aroma of pelmeni!
