Homemade Dumplings
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Homemade dumplings made by hand are a delicious home-cooked meal. It will take a bit of effort, but it's worth it. Similar dishes are prepared not only in Russian cuisine but in many others as well: khinkali, manty, wontons, ravioli—all these dishes consist of meat filling wrapped in unleavened dough. However, a true Russian would never confuse pelmeni with other similar dishes. Today I am offering a recipe. The finished dish can be served at the table.
