Oh, how difficult it is to choose among a variety of recipes. Fillings for Ukrainian dumplings are very different. It is sometimes difficult to opt for one. With cottage cheese, with berries and the most familiar and beloved - with potatoes - this is only a fraction. The cottage cheese is sweet or salty ... Even, it would seem, the usual potato filling has more than one option. Add the fried crushed mushrooms - a completely different taste will turn out. Or fry the greaves to the potatoes - it will be impossible to break away from the tasting.
You can make Ukrainian dumplings with cabbage. Here again, there is more than one option: cabbage, if desired, can be taken fresh or pickled. Also quite interesting taste have dumplings with bean filling. Well, let's begin to translate into reality the recipes of Ukrainian dumplings.
What to make dough with
It is important which products the dough is made from. For Ukrainian dumplings, lush and pot-bellied, we do not dough on water. Components:
- Yogurt - half a liter. You can take high fat kefir in the same amount.
- Eggs - 2 pieces.
- Soda - 1/4 teaspoon.
- Flour - how much kefir will take.
- Salt is a generous pinch.
Cooking method
Pour kefir into a cup and pour soda and salt here. Then add the eggs. All mix well. Sift the flour and portionwise enter into the composition with the remaining components. The result should be a pretty cool dough. Roll the resulting dough into a ball. We place it in a plastic bag or, leaving it in a bowl, cover it with a napkin. So our dough for Ukrainian dumplings will rest and after 20 minutes will be ready to mix with the filling and become a delicious dish.
Cook the dumplings also according to the rules. This is done in large quantities of water. Water must be salted to taste and brought to a boil. Now send the dumplings into the bowels of the pan. We are waiting for the boil again. Usually, after boiling again, it is necessary to wait for their rise to the surface and, after waiting 2 to 5 minutes, you can remove it with a slotted spoon and serve with butter or sour cream.
With potatoes
Let's start with the recipe for Ukrainian dumplings with potatoes. Here's what we need to cook to create a delicious filling:
- 7 medium potato tubers;
- 2 large onions;
- vegetable oil - for frying onions;
- salt, dill.
Wash the potatoes and peel them. Fill with water, salt and cook until tender.
Onions also free from all inedible. Shred with medium cubes and fry it until a very toasted crust. It is very good if you have a piece of unsalted fat. It can be finely chopped and added to the recipe instead of vegetable oil.
The potato is ready. Drain all the liquid from it. Mnem, add the fried onions and butter. Mix.
The cooled filling is placed in the dough, the recipe of which is given above. To do this, roll out the dough and make a lot of cakes out of it, with a diameter of 8 - 11 centimeters. In the middle of each we lay out the filling and pinch the free edges. The product has a familiar crescent shape. We spread the finished semi-finished products on the surface dusted with flour. They can be frozen for the future, or they can be immediately cooked in boiling salted water or steamed. Ukrainian dumplings with potatoes are traditionally served with sour cream or watered with fried greaves. However, you can offer the option with fried onions.
With cherry
How to cook lush Ukrainian dumplings yet? You can do it a couple. Consider the cooking method for an example of a recipe with cherry filling. This is also a rather famous recipe for Ukrainian dumplings. We will make the dough as described above. We prepare the filling from the following components:
- cherry - about 500 grams;
- sugar - 1 cup. You can take a little more or, conversely, a little less.
We wash the berries and remove all the seeds from them. Shake off excess liquid. Pour sugar in a bowl, mix. After an hour, the berries will produce juice. It must be drained into a separate container. Now put the berries on dough circles and very well pinch the free edges of the dumplings.
Such a filling is made not only from cherries. Dumplings with raspberries and especially strawberries will be very tasty in summer (and winter).
Steam
We will cook lush dumplings with cherries in a double boiler. Lubricate the lattice with vegetable oil so that our products do not stick to it. We spread the dumplings. After 5 to 7 minutes from the moment of boiling, take them out to a separate dish. You can serve again with sour cream or pouring on the cherry juice that stood out during the preparation of the filling.
You can also use the slow cooker. Lubricate the upper plastic container. Pour water into the bowl - about a third. We place the blanks in a cold machine. We set the program "Steamer" or "Steaming", who has what. After 20 - 25 minutes, dumplings with cherry filling can be tasted.
Almost any kind of dumplings with different fillings is prepared in the same way.
