Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  2. Divide the mixture into 12-15 portions and shape each into a ball.
  3. Place a meat ball in the center of a pre-made khinkali wrapper.
  4. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold to create a pouch, pinching the top to seal.
  5. Arrange the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with a cloth or parchment paper.
  6. Steam over boiling water for 20-25 minutes until the dough is tender and the filling is cooked through.
  7. Serve hot with a side of rye bread and a glass of beer.
  8. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
