Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, pork, onions, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, combine flour and water to make a dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes, then let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the dough into thin circles. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each circle.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Pinch to form a pleat.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pelmeni and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.
  6. Drain and serve with a side of sour cream and chopped parsley.
  7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
