Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 lb Ground pork
  • 0.5 lb Ground beef
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 6 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-free sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. 2In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. 3Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half of the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles (about 1-2 inches in diameter).
  4. 4Place a small amount of the meat filling in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half to form a crescent shape, and pinch the edges to seal. Bring the two points of the crescent together and pinch to seal.
  5. 5Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  6. 6Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot. Carefully add the pelmeni and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
  7. 7Serve pelmeni in broth, topped with dairy-free sour cream and fresh dill.
