In the Kitchen with Lana.

We had a delightful time learning how to make a Russian dish called "Pelmeni". It is like a dumpling you cook in chicken broth. It was a fun evening with friends and so good to learn a new traditional food from another country. Thanks Lana!!!

Pelmeni

dough:

2 cups flour

2 eggs

3/4 t salt

1/2 cup water

mix, then refrigerate until cool

meatballs:

1lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground pork

1 onion diced

soy sauce

salt and pepper

roll out dough and cut in little rounds. Form meatballs with your hands. Place one meat ball in the middle of each dumpling, fold and pinch into a crescent then fold the corners up.

when you have a tray of them you can freeze them and make into soup later OR drop them into boiling broth, cook until they float and then serve with dill, soy sauce and sour cream.
