Dumplings with cabbage
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cabbage-filled vareniki are a classic of Russian folk cuisine, traditionally eaten during fasting periods in Russia. If you're observing a fast today, cabbage vareniki deserve a place on your table; if not, they're still worth making just for the pleasure. The vareniki turn out tender and soft. You can also use sauerkraut instead—then they will have a pleasantly tangy flavor. Traditionally, cabbage vareniki are served with sour cream and fresh herbs. Serve them hot.
