The Real Russian Pelmeni

Pelmeni are small Slavic meat dumplings wrapped in thin dough and boiled until tender. We’ll make the dough, season the filling, shape them properly, and serve them with sour cream, butter, pepper, vinegar, or broth. The shaping takes time, but they freeze beautifully.

I teach practical home cooking for people who want to eat well without cooking from scratch every day. In my live classes, we cook together and prepare food strategically: some things are cooked and frozen, some are prepped to cook fresh later, and some become versatile bases for several different meals. I do the planning—you leave with food in your fridge and freezer and a clear idea of what to make with it later.

Preparation

The dough for pelmeni is the same as that for pierogi. Be ready for the shaping part — it takes time, but once you learn the technique, you can make a big batch and freeze some for later.
