pelmeni
Siberian meat parcels
Pelmeni are Russian dumplings—small pockets of thin unleavened dough filled with seasoned ground meat, typically a mixture of beef and pork.
They're boiled and served with sour cream, butter, or vinegar.
Similar to Polish pierogi or Chinese jiaozi, pelmeni are traditionally made in large batches and frozen for later: We made hundreds of pelmeni for the winter.
