Russian Pelmeni
January 29th, 2007
Pelmeni is a popular Russian dish with a minced meet filling wrapped in a thin dough. There are many traditional (and time consuming) recipes for making pelmeni, but most are sold frozen in the store. The frozen pelmeni are then boiled for about 5 minutes and served with butter or sour cream. Pelmeni is a great dish, especially when you’re in a hurry.
Here’s a 1952 advertisement for Pelmeni from the Ministry of Meat and Milk Industry.
