5.) Inna in Creve Coeur:
PELMENI
Ingredients:
For the filling:
3/4-pound beef
3/4-pound pork
1 onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
2/3 cup of milk
salt and pepper to taste
For the dough:
2 cups of flour
half cup of milk
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup of water
salt to taste
Mince the meat, onion and garlic, add salt, pepper and milk and mix together.
For the dough, mix the water, milk and salt. Pour the flour in a heap onto the
table, and add the milk and water. After mixing, add the oil. Cut the dough into
three equally sized pieces and roll each one into a tube the diameter of a
finger. Cut each into pieces the size of a walnut, then roll each piece into a
very thin flat cake with a diameter of 1 1/2 - 2 inches. Put some mince in the
center of each flat cake (quite a lot, but not so much that you can't then seal
up the dough). Then fold the dough in half and join up the edges to seal them.
You should now have an "ear of dough". Put the pelmeni into boiling water and boil them until they come to the surface. They are served hot with sour cream,
mayonnaise or ketchup.
