The easiest recipe for dumplings with minced meat

 

To make homemade dumplings, you will need flour, water, salt, ground pork and onions. And a dumpling!

Ingredients:

3-4 cups of premium flour; 300 ml of water; 350 g minced pork and beef; 1 tsp salt; big bulb.

Pour 3 cups of flour into a deep bowl. Make an indentation in the center. Pour salt into a glass of warm water, stir until dissolved, then pour into the flour hole. First, mix the dough in a circle with a spoon, and then with your hands on a floured table, knead a tight dough. You can grease your hands with vegetable oil. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can also leave it overnight.

Scroll the pieces of pork and beef in a meat grinder, add salt, black pepper, chopped finely peeled onion. Stir the mince until smooth. You can splash a little water on the meat, the filling will be juicier.

 

Tear off a small piece of dough from the ball and roll it out on a table sprinkled with flour. Powder the dumpling and place a leaf on it. Fill the holes with stuffing. You should not put a lot of fillings: firstly, it will be difficult to squeeze large dumplings through the cells, and secondly, pot-bellied dumplings will tear.

Roll out the second sheet of dough, lay it on a dumpling, sprinkle with flour and walk with a rolling pin.

 

Turn the dumpling over and shake it over the table. All! Now they can be frozen or immediately boiled in boiling salted water. After the dumplings float, they are boiled for about four minutes.

It is delicious to serve dumplings with butter and pepper, with sour cream and chopped garlic with herbs.

How to sculpt dumplings if there is no dumplings. Roll the dough into a sausage and cut it into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a cake. Place a spoonful of the filling on the center of the cake. Bend the workpiece in half and pinch the edges tightly. The edges can still be glued together.

Lean dumplings with vegetables

 

For fasting and vegetarians, as well as for a change for meat-eaters, we offer dumplings without meat. The filling can be prepared from any vegetables fried with onions and garlic: bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, mashed potatoes. Today we offer to cook dumplings with zucchini.

Ingredients:

400 g wheat flour; 2 tbsp. l. bran; 250 ml of water; 1 tsp salt; 300 g zucchini; clove of garlic; 1 tsp vegetable oil; allspice to taste; a couple of pinches of ground nutmeg.

Pour water, salt into a large bowl, stir. Then sift almost all the flour, leaving a little for dusting. Add bran (although you can without them). Knead a soft, slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. Gather the dough together with oiled hands and refrigerate in a bowl wrapped in cling film for 2 hours. This is necessary so that the dough becomes elastic and does not tear when sculpting.

Peel the zucchini, cut out large bones, cut into cubes of 5 mm. Chop the peeled garlic. Heat the pan over medium heat, pour in the oil and simmer the vegetables with salt, pepper and nutmeg for 5 minutes, covered.

 

On a floured table, divide the dough into 4 parts, roll up a sausage from each and cut into equal pieces. Roll the pieces into cakes, on which spread a teaspoon of the filling. Bend the cakes with the filling in half and pinch the edges, then glue the edges. If you have a dumpling, then just roll the pancakes to its size. Put the filling in the holes, then cover with a second pancake and walk with a rolling pin.

And now dumplings can be frozen in a freezer on a pallet (frozen ones must be transferred to a special bag or box) or boiled in salted boiling water for 4-5 minutes after they float.

Serve with sour cream, herbs, mashed garlic. Enjoy!
