My Mum just used minced beef, minced pork, fine chopped onion, garlic, salt, WHITE pepper, fresh fine chopped sage or some times a little mixed herbs.. It was fun making them as kids... we had races...:}some times she would put them into near finished homemade soup and lift them out when they were floaters....

Traditionally finely mince equal amounts of beef, pork and chicken, add finely chopped onions, garlic, season with salt and pepper. The filling shouldn't be dry, add water is needed to make a smooth paste. The dough: flour, water, egg optional. Similar to pasta dough, needs to be kneaded well. Ready pelmeni can be frozen on a tray and then stored in a bag in the freezer. Serve with a dash of butter, sour cream or soy sauce. I like fish filling, minced with onions and dill. Any white fish or wild salmon will do.

Pelmeni are Russian filled dumplings, with a skin made from white flour and water and fillings usally made with meat, cabbage or cheese.They are cooked in water and served with butter or sour cream.

Thanks Fisher and Lenart- they sound similar to the ones I found on google. I spent some time with a Russian family when I was a kid and remember these fondly, sadly I have not been able to track the recipe they used down- but will give both of yours a go. Really awesome comfort food esp in winter : )

Well you can tell where my heritage is from then ...:}}} Not sure whether I ever saw mum put chicken in as well,but she used the old hand mincer and put the meat through, mixed it "all" up and put it through the mincer again.. There wasn't the abundance of "Store Herbs" back then so it was the basics she got out of her garden and mixed herbs from Greggs which always seems to have been available.. Don't think there was anything else to add as that's "all" there was to the recipe which is probably why you wont find a lot of variations.. When making them.. wet your fingers when pressing together and we made little tails and folded the ends over each other.. We never had freezer room so she always made fresh.. Let us know if you find something different...:}

My Mum just used minced beef, minced pork, ( did her own mincing) fine chopped onion, garlic, salt, WHITE pepper, fresh fine chopped sage or some times a little mixed herbs. It was fun making them as kids. we had races.:}some times she would put them into near finished homemade soup and lift them out when they were floaters. Any leftover dough was pinched off. pressed with a fork and put into the soup.

Wow thanks Fisher! Thats a good tip around wetting fingers! Did she cook them in stock or just water? I remember them served in bowls with a tasty broth and big dollops of sour cream
