Cheese Khinkali

A great take on khinkali for anyone who doesn't eat meat! Everyone's used to the classic meat khinkali (Georgian soup dumplings). I decided to surprise my guests and made them with a cheese filling instead — and it looks like I made the right call. They're easy to make, too! My guests loved them, and I'm glad my collection of favorite dishes has a new recipe in it.

    1. Combine the salt and flour and sift. Add the water. 2. Knead the dough well — at least 15 minutes. 3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest (20 minutes is plenty). 4. Grate the cheese, preferably on the coarse holes of a box grater. 5. Combine the cheese, melted butter, and yolks. Season with salt and mix well. 6. Knead the rested dough again, divide it into a few pieces, and roll each into a "log" about 4 cm (1½ inches) thick. 7. Cut into small squares. 8. Roll out each piece into a round no more than 2 mm thick. 9. Place the filling — 1 to 1½ teaspoons — in the center of each round. 10. Shape the khinkali: pinch the edges up at the top, gradually forming a little pouch. Twist the pinched top into a small tail. 11. Drop the khinkali into boiling salted water and cook for no more than 10 minutes over low heat. 12. Carefully lift the khinkali out, trying not to tear the dough. 13. To serve, drizzle the khinkali with butter. Enjoy!
