Pelmeni

Our attempt at Siberian Pelmeni.

A few days ago we decided to go on another of our little “Around The World for £4 or Less” adventures. Siberia isn't a nation state as such and this isn't a very traditional recipe. Our local butchers don't stock Bear Meat!
 
Our attempt at Siberian  Pelmeni.
 
Ingredients:-
 
Dough:-
 
300 g flour (We used Gluten Free)
3 eggs, whisked
25 g Margarine, melted
100ml water
Salt
 
Filling:-
 
150g Pork / Beef mince
1 Beef stock cube dissolved in 100ml of warm water
25g Margarine
2 peeled garlic cloves, thinly sliced
¼ tube of Tomato Purée
Salt & Pepper to  season
 
Method:-
 
(1) Mix the dough ingredients in a bowl to form a still dough which to will be able to roll out. If it feels too dry add a little extra water.
(2) Roll the dough into a ball by hand and let it rest covered.
(3) Mix the filling ingredients together.
(4) On a floured surface roll the dough out until it is about 2mm thick.
(5) Us a circular pastry cutter of large mug, in our case, to cut the dough into circles.
(6) In each dough circle add a little of the filling mix. Not to much as you need to close the dough around the meat fix.
(7) Form the dough into balls around the meat, using a little water to seal the edges.  If you are feeling very patient you could try to form a more traditional Tortellini shape.
(8) Boil or deep fry your Pelmeni.
 
We served ours dressed with Sour Cream and chopped Coriander, with fried Courgettes, Red Cabbage, Sautéed Mushrooms.

(2) Place the Basa fillets on Foil then but dots of Margarine or Butter on the Fish, followed by the sliced Ginger.
(3) Spoon over the Honey mix.
