Yerevan-Style Borʼaki (Armenian Fried Dumplings)

Love dumplings but want something different? Make them Armenian-style! This is a delicious Armenian take on dumplings. They come together fairly quickly (especially the second time around :), and unlike regular dumplings, the filling goes in already cooked — ground meat sautéed with vegetables. On top of that, the borʼaki themselves are fried in oil just before serving.

    1. Wash the tomatoes and peel the onion. Cut both into cubes. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet, add the onion, and sauté until lightly golden. 3. Add the ground meat, salt, and pepper. Stir and fry for about 5 minutes. 4. Add the tomatoes. Keep cooking until done. 5. Taste the filling and add more salt and pepper if needed. Take it off the heat and let it cool. 6. Chop the herbs, add them to the meat filling, and mix. 7. Make the dough: crack the egg into a bowl, add the water and a pinch of salt, and stir well. Sift the flour, add the egg mixture, and knead a stiff dough. 8. Roll the dough out into a sheet and cut it into squares (about 6 by 6 cm / 2.5 inches). 9. Put about 1 tablespoon of filling on each square, then shape the dough into open tubes around it — pinch the dough closed at the bottom and leave the top open. 10. Stand the tubes in a skillet, pour in the broth, and braise over low heat until done. 11. Transfer the borʼaki to a colander and let all the broth drain off. 12. Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the borʼaki until lightly golden. Serve them hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs and drizzled with your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
