🇷🇺 Russia recipe

Pelmeni

Born in the frozen expanses of Siberia, pelmeni are Russia's answer to the dumpling. Families would gather to make hundreds at a time, freezing them outdoors in the bitter winter cold as a ready-made meal. The dough is thin yet resilient, wrapped around a juicy filling of mixed beef and pork seasoned with onion and black pepper. Served simply with sour cream and a drizzle of vinegar, they are pure comfort.
