Pelmeni

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

3 cups, plus extra for dusting

Warm water

1 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Ground beef

1/2 pound

Ground pork

1/2 pound

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Sour cream

1 cup, for serving

Fresh dill

1/4 cup, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, warm water, and beaten egg. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by mixing together the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough (approximately 3 inches in diameter).
5. Place a small spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges tightly to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the pelmeni to the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked pelmeni to a serving dish.
8. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and garnished with chopped fresh dill. Enjoy!
