Lamb Pelmeni

Original lamb dumplings — an absolutely killer flavor! These pelmeni come from Tajik cooking, with a generous mix of fresh herbs that gives them their distinctive, outstanding taste. And they look pretty good, too. (Pelmeni are small dumplings.)

  • To make these, stir together the sifted flour and salted water, knead a dough, and let it rest, covered, in a cool spot for half an hour. Then roll the dough out to about 1/4 in. (5 mm) thick and cut out circles with a cutter — or the smallest shot glass you have. For the filling, rinse the boneless lamb and run it through a meat grinder. Peel and rinse the garlic and grind or press it too. Rinse and chop the herbs, season with salt and pepper, and add them to the meat. Then pour in a little cream (goat's milk works too), no more than half a cup. Now form the pelmeni: put a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle and pinch the edges closed. Once they're all shaped, steam them for 40–45 minutes, or boil them in salted water for 15 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
