Russian Food

                                                                                 PELMENI

 I have chosen Russian Food. My Russian food is Pelmeni. Pelmeni is a food like Manti which is being cooked in Turkey but it is bigger than Manti and has more meat in it.

   

        INGREDIENTS:

  The dough is made from flour and water, sometimes adding a small portion of eggs.

The filling can be minced meat (pork, lamb, beef, or any other kind of meat), fish, or mushrooms. The mixing together of different kinds of meat is also popular. The traditional Udmurt recipe requires a mixture of 45% beef, 35% mutton, and 20% pork. Pelmeni in Perm (west of the Ural Mountains) are often filled with mushrooms, onions, turnips, or sauerkraut instead of meat. Various spices, such as black pepper and onions, are mixed into the filling.
