Poltava dumplings

The whole flavor of Ukrainian cuisine is on your table! Simple, delicious, satisfying! I come from Ukraine, moreover, my parents studied and met in Poltava, so I couldn't calmly pass by this dish! Many people know that there is a monument to dumplings in Poltava, which means that there is something like that in this dish... Although, of course, I have tried this dish before, but I decided to cook it for the first time! I tried to cook dumplings as they are loved in ordinary Ukrainian families and as they are loved in mine. As my husband said, Ukrainian dumplings)

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 50 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Necessary ingredients for the dough

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Pour 2-3 parts of the whole flour into kefir, mix

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Then add soda and salt

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add the rest of the flour, leaving about 0.5 cups to add to the table

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    The dough should turn out soft, sticky, not very steep, so that you can work with it in the future, the consistency is about like kefir pies. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes, during which time the gluten in the flour will swell

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    After the specified time, generously sprinkle the table with flour, take part of the dough and form a sausage about 2 cm thick from it

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Cut the sausage into 2 cm thick pieces

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Then boil the dumplings. There are two ways to do this

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Steamed (I use a slow cooker as a steamer, setting the desired mode)

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    When the water boils, we install a stand for steaming, pre-greased with vegetable oil, dumplings are placed at a distance from each other, because they increase in size

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Cook for a couple of 7 minutes

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    Or boil dumplings in salted water for 5-7 minutes

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    We catch ready-made dumplings with a slotted spoon

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14.

    It is believed that dumplings are a couple more magnificent... I specifically compared dumplings cooked in both ways. On the left is the one that is steamed, on the right - in a saucepan. They seemed to me the same, the only thing is that the dumpling, which is steamed, has a more regular shape. But perhaps these are the features of my slow cooker? Try both ways to compare!

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15.

    Add a small piece of butter to each cooked batch of dumplings so that the dumplings do not stick together. The dishes with dumplings are periodically shaken. I put the dumplings in a large clay pot and cover them with a lid, so the dumplings retain heat and can be baked in the oven if desired. Of course, dumplings can be eaten already in this form, but it is much tastier to serve them together with the dressing

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16.

    And for refueling we will need: a little boiled chicken, onion, carrot, garlic, podcherevok (or lard with a meat layer, or fatty pork), I like this part, because it is less fatty - I would say it's something in between lard and meat

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17.

    We will also need the broth in which the chicken was cooked, and a little sour cream

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18.

    Cut the Podcherevok into arbitrary pieces

  19. Step 19:

    Step 19.

    Fry in a frying pan to melt the fat a little

  20. Step 20:

    Step 20.

    Meanwhile, we cut the onion, three carrots

  21. Step 21:

    Step 21.

    Podcherevok (lard, meat) salt

  22. Step 22:

    Step 22.

    Add freshly ground black pepper

  23. Step 23:

    Step 23.

    When the podcherevok is slightly fried, add the chopped onion

  24. Step 24:

    Step 24.

    Then grated carrots, stir and simmer under the lid for 5-7 minutes

  25. Step 25:

    Step 25.

    Then here we pass the garlic through the press. I must say that at this stage there is an awesome aroma in the kitchen and most likely the household has already come running to see what it smells like)))

  26. Step 26:

    Step 26.

    Add boiled chicken

  27. Step 27:

    Step 27.

    Pour in the broth

  28. Step 28:

    Step 28.

    Add sour cream, you can add a little more salt to taste

  29. Step 29:

    Step 29.

    Simmer under the lid for another 5 minutes, guided by the podcherevku, it should become soft. There are many options for refueling: minced meat + onion + carrot + garlic + broth + sour cream, chicken + onion + carrot + garlic + ..., fry the bacon until the bacon + onion + ..., meat + onion +... Choose the one you like!

  30. Step 30:

    Step 30.

    We pour the dumplings with dressing and serve them to the table! You can go ahead and bake in this very pot for another 20 minutes. But for me it's already very, very tasty!

  31. Step 31:

    Step 31.

    Bon appetit!
