How to make pelmeni
Monday, January 10, 2011
Pelmeni is one of my favorite meals. Specially that my grandmother used to make (let her rest in peace). Long time ago I wanted to make them, so I told my mom if we can make them one day. So here is a tutorial. I hope you learn something new today.
For the dough
1-2 eggs
2 and a half glasses of warm water
1 tea spoon
For the meat:
1 kg of ground meat (500 gr of cow meat and 500 gr of pork meat)
3-4 onions
Salt and black pepper to taste
A video tutorial (make sure to keep reading)
Instructions:
Put the wheat flour on the table, and make it look like a volcano. Then add egg and salt and water. Start kneading the dough. Once you have the dough ready. Put it on a deep dish and cover it with a plastic paper to refrigerate for half an hour.
Start to grate the onions and apply the meat and mix it with the grated onions. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Take out the dough, and take a piece in order to make a long stick. Cut it in pieces to make little balls. Press them with a roll. Apply the meat on the press round dough and fold it, then unite the corners.
Once you make one, put it on a cutting board to cover with a little bit of wheat flour.
When the cutting board is full of Pelmeni, freeze it, when it’s frozen, put the Pelmenies on a plastic bag in order to restore them.
For preparation:
Boil water, add salt and then put the Pelmeni. Reduce heat and periodically stir and wait for 7 minutes.
Remove water and add butter.
Serve to taste with sour cream or mayonnaise. Also with a little bit of vinegar with black pepper.
Also you can drink vodka while you eat this delicious meal. ^^
