image_print

Pelmeni is very well known popular Russian dish that originated in Siberia. It’s made from unleavened dough that is rolled in to thin circles and filled with minced meat ( chicken,beef,pork or lamb.combination of meats is also popular), spices,onions and/or garlic.Then they are cooked in water,drained and served with lots of butter and some sour cream.You can eat them as soup as well without draining them and sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper and some chopped green onions.
I like to make them in large quantity, then freeze them for later. They will stay good for long period of time with out loss of quality or flavor.Best kept in a heavy duty ziplock bag.”

Ingredients for dough:
about 230-250 pieces
 
5 eggs
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups flour

Filling:

2 lbs. ground meat ( I used chicken-thigh meat if making homemade ground meat )
1 onion shredded or minced
salt -about 1 1/2 teaspoon +/-
1 heaping teaspoon fresh ground black pepper.

Direction for dough:

whisk together water,milk,eggs and salt.
Mix using a dough hook adding flour.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 40 min.
