Cooking method

Step 1:
How do you make pelmeni baked in sour cream in a clay pot? Without thawing them, fry the pelmeni in melted butter in a hot skillet until browned on both sides. The clay pots should be prepped ahead of time: soak them in cold clean water for an hour before baking. This simple trick makes the food in the pot especially tasty and fragrant. Grease the bottom of the pot with a little oil and transfer the pelmeni from the skillet into it.

Step 2:
In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and grated carrot in the butter until golden.

Step 3:
Spoon the sautéed vegetables over the pelmeni. Make the pouring sauce: in a cup, combine the sour cream, salt, and ground black pepper, add clean water, and stir. Pour this mixture into the pot, filling it up to the "shoulder" so the liquid won't boil over. Cover the pot with its lid, place it in a cold oven, set the temperature to 350°F (180°C), and bake for 40 minutes.

- If you use a pre-made spice blend, be sure to read the label — these blends often already contain salt, so account for that or you risk over-salting the dish.
