Slav-Style Russian Pelmeni

Ingredients

For the Dough:
💧 250ml Water generic
🥚 1 Egg from chicken
🧂 2 teaspoons Salt generic
🌾 Approximately 300g Flour "AURORA" All-Purpose Flour

For the Filling:
🥩 250g Minced Meat generic
🧅 Half of a medium Onion or 1 small Onion, finely diced generic
🧄 1 Garlic clove, finely minced generic
🧂 2 teaspoons Salt generic
🌶️ Pepper to taste generic

For Serving:
🥣 Sour Cream traditional, optional
🍶 Mayonnaise Hellmann's brand
🌿 Dill or Green Onion for garnish generic

Instructions

1- Making the Dough:

In the Rosenthal Bianchi white ceramic bowl, crack the egg and add 250ml of water.
Whisk the mixture until blended.
Incorporate 2 teaspoons of salt and whisk again.
Gradually introduce approximately 300g of all-purpose flour, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. Continue adding flour until a firm dough is achieved.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it no longer sticks to your hands.
Cover the kneaded dough and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

2- Preparing the Filling:

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic using the Fiskars knife.
In another mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, onion, and garlic.
Season with salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly until well combined.

3- Assembling the Pelmeni:

On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of dough as thin as possible with a wooden rolling pin.
Use a drinking glass to cut circles from the dough.
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.
Choose your folding method: a simple half-moon, classic Russian pelmeni style, or the creative "Cheeki Breeki bag of meat" style.

4- Cooking the Pelmeni:

Fill the large stainless steel pot halfway with water and add some salt.
Bring to a boil on the Siemens induction cooktop.
Carefully add pelmeni with the slotted spoon, ensuring they do not stick together.
Boil for approximately 7 minutes until they float.

5- Serving:

Remove pelmeni with the slotted spoon onto a white ceramic serving plate.
Serve with mayonnaise or traditional sour cream.
Garnish with dill or green onion.
