About this

Pelmeni are traditional Russian dumplings filled with minced meat, typically pork and beef or lamb, seasoned with onions and wrapped in thin unleavened dough. Originating from Siberia and the Ural region, they are boiled or fried and served in many Russian households, especially in colder areas like Siberia, often with sour cream, butter, vinegar, or broth. In places like Irkutsk or Novosibirsk, locals make them fresh during family gatherings or buy them from markets, reflecting everyday Siberian cuisine.
