Pike Pelmeni (Fish Dumplings)

A traditional dish with an unusual filling! Pike pelmeni are a hearty, wholesome meal for the whole family. What sets them apart from the usual meat dumplings is their more tender, juicy, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of fish. Pike is naturally on the dry side, so the key trick here is to add little pieces of pork fat to the filling.

  • Pike is a real classic of traditional Russian cooking, and pelmeni (dumplings) are a beloved staple as well. This recipe brings the two together into an unusual but seriously delicious dish that fish lovers — and others — will enjoy. First, make the dough. Sift the flour into a large bowl, make a well in the center, and crack in the egg; add the sour cream and salt, and mix. Boil the water and dissolve the butter in it, then carefully pour the hot liquid into the bowl. Knead a smooth, pliable dough that doesn't stick to your hands, working in a little more flour if needed. Cover it with a clean towel so it won't dry out, and let it rest. Now make the filling. Rinse the fish, clean and gut it, trim the fins, and remove the head and tail. Skin the pike, cut it into small pieces, and remove the bones. Cut the partially frozen fatback into small cubes. Peel, wash, and chop the onion, and do the same with the zucchini. In a separate bowl, soak the sliced bread in the milk, then squeeze it out lightly. Pass the pike, chopped vegetables, fatback, and soaked bread through a meat grinder. Mix the filling well and season with salt and pepper to taste. On a floured surface, roll the dough into thin sheets. Cut out rounds, place a spoonful of fish filling in the center of each, and pinch them into dumplings. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, drop in a bay leaf for aroma, and add the dumplings. Cook over medium heat for 5–10 minutes (depending on size) from the moment they return to a boil. Lift them out with a slotted spoon, pile them on a platter, and garnish with dill and spices. Enjoy!
