Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

with minced meat, dough without egg

Knead flour, water, salt, and olive oil into a dough. It shouldn’t be too stiff; add a little more water if necessary to make it easier to roll out later. Cover the dough and let it rest for a while. In the meantime, peel and chop the onions, then mix them with the raw ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half and cut out shapes using a glass (approx. 5 cm in diameter) or special cutters. Place about 1 teaspoon of ground beef on each piece of dough and form “parcels.” The shape doesn’t really matter, but it should be tightly sealed to keep the filling inside. Now add the pelmeni to boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes. When they float to the top, they’re done. Before serving, drizzle a little butter over the still-hot pelmeni. They also taste great with mustard!
