Dumplings with tomatoes
Description
If you want to prepare something truly unusual for your family, then take a look at this simple recipe for tomato-filled dumplings — it might be exactly what you're looking for. Although this dish is not for everyone, it has a very interesting and vibrant flavor, and my family absolutely loved these dumplings. By the way, you can easily prepare tomato dumplings at home for a fasting menu — this dish will look great on such a table. 1) Pour 200 ml of water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Then remove the pan from the heat and immediately add salt and vegetable oil to the water. Gradually add flour in small portions and start kneading the dough, first with a spoon, then transfer it onto a work surface and continue kneading by hand. Keep kneading until the dough becomes elastic and no longer sticks to your hands. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for half an hour. 2) Now let's prepare the filling. Chop the washed tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a colander so that excess liquid can drain off. Peel the garlic and finely chop it together with fresh herbs. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then add the garlic and herbs to the oil and pour this mixture over the tomatoes. Season the filling with salt and spices, then mix everything thoroughly. 3) Take the rested dough and roll it out into a thin sheet. For convenience, you may divide the dough into portions and roll each one separately. Cut out circles from the dough, place a spoonful of tomato filling onto each circle, then carefully seal the edges as tightly as possible to prevent the filling's juice from leaking out during cooking. 4) Pour water into a large pot, bring it to a boil, add salt, and drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Once they float to the surface, cook for 7–8 minutes. Then remove them with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. If the dumplings have cooled down by the time your family or guests sit down to eat, you can pan-fry the dumplings in a skillet until they develop a golden-brown crust on both sides. Enjoy your meal!
