By the way, not only the recipe for lazy dumplings can be different, but also the method of preparation. However, let's not feed the nightingale with fables, but feed our household with pelmeni. And even if they are lazy, they will be no less delicious than traditional ones.

Lazy dumplings almost classic

This recipe for making lazy dumplingsinvolves the use of a special form. A dumpling form is a metal or plastic disk or pentagon with honeycomb holes. It is thanks to this device that the procedure for making dumplings is significantly simplified - there is no need to mold each dumpling separately. Ingredients:

• A pound of ground beef;
• 1 raw egg;
• 1 head of onions;
• Salt;
• Ground black pepper.

For the test:

• 400 grams of flour;
• 1 raw egg;
• 1 partial glass of water;
• 1 tablespoon lean oil;
• Half a teaspoon of salt.

Preparation: Just like the traditional method?We roll out the finished dough, cut out circles from it, put minced meat on each, and then pinch each circle, forming a neat dumpling. If we use a dumpling mold, we skip this step. But we start by kneading the dough and preparing the minced meat. We put the minced meat in a bowl, add the onion, minced in a meat grinder or chopped in a blender, egg, ground black pepper and salt (add the latter to taste). Mix. For the dough, sift flour into a bowl, add salt, pour in vegetable oil and break an egg. Gradually adding water, knead a smooth, dense, but elastic dough. Then cover the dough with cling film or a towel and leave it for about thirty minutes. During this time, the gluten will swell, and the dough will become even softer and more flexible. This is where this method of making lazy dumplings has no similarities with the traditional method. Next, we need to roll out the dough, and prepare two large layers at once. Then one layer is placed on a form sprinkled with flour, pieces of minced meat are placed in the holes closed with dough, and then everything is covered with another layer of dough. Sprinkle the top layer with flour, roll it over it several times with a rolling pin, cutting the dough over the edges protruding in the form. Put the rolling pin aside, carefully remove excess dough along the edges of the form, turn it over and shake out the already molded dumplings. Boil them, placing them in boiling salted water.

Lazy roasted dumplings

This method of making lazy dumplings is alsoeasier. We don't need a mold, and the recipe itself differs in the composition of ingredients only by the presence of vegetables. We will make a kind of pillow for our rose dumplings from vegetables. Ingredients:

• Half a glass of water;
• Half a teaspoon of salt;
• 2 eggs;
• Flour until the desired consistency of the dough.

For the filling:

• 700 grams of minced meat;
• 2 heads of onions;
• Fresh greenery;
• Salt;
• Ground black pepper.

For the vegetable pillow:

• 2 carrots;
• 2 heads of onions;
• 2 pods of bell pepper;
• Vegetable oil.

Preparation:Mix the classic dumpling dough. Break the eggs into a bowl, add water and salt and lightly beat the mixture. Now gradually add the sifted flour, mixing a very stiff dough. Cover it with a cotton towel or cling film and leave it in a warm place for half an hour. During this time, the dough will become softer and more elastic. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Grind the onions in a meat grinder, combine them with the minced meat and add the eggs and chopped greens. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste and mix well. Prepare the vegetable pillow for the dumplings in advance. The recipe is quite simple. Peel the onion and carrot, and remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers. Cut all the vegetables into strips and fry them one by one in vegetable oil until golden brown. Place all the vegetables in a deep roasting pan and start making dumplings. Sprinkle the table with flour, place all the dough on it and roll it out into a thin layer. The thinner we roll out the dough, the tastier the dumplings will be. Note that the dough layer should not be round, but elongated, because we will have to roll it into a roll. Now place all the filling on the dough and distribute it evenly over the entire layer. Wrap the roll and pinch its edges. Next, simply cut the resulting roll into pieces and place them in the roasting pan on a vegetable pillow. Place the mini-rolls cut side up. By the way, to prevent the meat juice from leaking out of them, you can pinch the bottom edge of each roll. Fill our lazy dumplings with water so that it completely covers them. Place a bay leaf in the roasting pan, add spices if desired, cover with a lid and simmer the dumplings for about half an hour. As you can see, making lazy dumplings is quite easy. In any case, their recipe is practically no different from traditional homemade dumplings. Only the cooking method is simplified. Which recipe did you like? By the way, lazy dumplings can not only be boiled, but also steamed or baked in the oven. Cook with pleasure! Bon appetit and success in the culinary field! We recommend reading:
