Pelmeni

Ingredients

• 1/2 Pound Ground Beef
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Pound Ground Pork
• 2 Medium Onions (Finely Chopped)
• 3 Cloves Garlic (Pressed)
• 1/4 Teaspoon Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper (Or More, To Taste)
• 3 Bay Leaves
• 1/8 Peppercorns
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1/4 Cup Sour Cream (Or More, For Garnishing)
• 2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley (For Garnishing)
• 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Cooking Oil

Directions

1. For the dough: In a bowl, add flour, a pinch of salt, cooking oil and 1 cup of cold water and mix until well combined. With your hands, knead the dough until a smooth dough ball is formed. Cover the dough and keep aside until use.
2. Meanwhile, for filling: combine ground meat, onion, garlic, salt and black pepper and mix until well combined.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Place dough portions onto a lightly floured smooth surface and roll each into 1/8-inch thickness. With a small glass, cut the dough into circles. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of filling onto each dough circle. Fold the edges together and press tightly to seal the filling. Arrange pelmeni onto a well-floured cutting board in a single layer.
4. In a large pan of salted boiling water, place pelmeni with bay leaves and peppercorns and let them float to the top. Cook for about five minutes.
5. With a slotted spoon, transfer pelmeni to a bowl. Add butter and gently, stir to combine. Coat pelmeni with butter. Serve with a topping of sour cream and parsley.
