Russian Pelmeni

Pelmeni

Dough:
2 eggs
1 cup Water
2 Tbsp Oil
1tsp Salt
5 cups of Flour (as needed)

Filling:
1 lb ground meat (I use beef)
1 Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Parsley
1/2 cup Water
Salt & Pepper

1) Mix all dough ingredients, kneed, cover, and set aside.
2) Run all the filling ingredients in a food processor.
3) Roll out part of the dough into no more than 1/8 inch thick.
4) Cut out small circles using a cookie cutter or a cup. Fill the circles with a tsp of filling.
5) Fold the circle over and pinch down to seal like a pocket. Bring the two corners together and pinch to create what look like little butts or like fortune cookies.
6)At this point the pelmeni can be frozen for use at a later time. To freeze, sprinkle a cookie sheet with flour and lay pelmeni on it one by one. Once frozen, they can be tossed in a bag to save space.
7) To cook, bring water, some salt and oil to boil. Once they all rise to the surface, cook for at least 8 minutes or till done.
8) Serve with sour cream & dill, vinegar, or butter.
