Moscow dumplings
Description
The dish is easy to prepare without unnecessary complications. To make Moscow pelmeni, you'll need two types of minced meat—pork and beef. The filling turns out juicy and extremely delicious! Pelmeni are convenient because you can prepare them in advance, freeze them, and then simply boil and serve whenever needed. Despite the wide variety of store-bought pelmeni, none can compete in taste with homemade ones. The ready dish can now be served.
