Dumplings with Fish Filling

We are used to the fact that dumplings are usually made with meat, but today you can try a different filling, namely fish. And for more taste, let’s mix two types of fish: red and white. And the formation of fish dumplings, although done by hand, is not at all complicated. Forward to new gastronomic experiences with this recipe!

Servings: 8

Ingredients

For the test:

• Flour – 350 g (2⅔ 200 ml cups)
• Water – 125 ml
• Egg – 1 pc.
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil – 1 teaspoon

For filling:

• Pike (fillet) – 150 g
• Trout (fillet) – 250 g
• Butter – 30 g
• Onions – 70 g (1 pc.)
• Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon
• Fresh dill – to taste
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper – to taste

Additionally:

• Sour cream (for serving) – to taste
• Fresh dill (for serving) – to taste
• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Pour lukewarm water (125 ml) into a bowl and break the egg into it.
2. Pour vegetable oil into a bowl of water and an egg.
3. Add salt to a bowl and stir until smooth.
4. Sift flour into a bowl. It is better to add it in parts so that the dough does not turn out to be dense, otherwise, it will be more difficult to work with it.
5. Knead a soft, non-sticky dough. Cover with plastic wrap and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature to “ripen”.
6. Cut the pike fillet into slices and place it in a blender bowl. Add butter to the fish and beat until smooth. Transfer the minced meat to a bowl.
7. Cut the trout fillets into slices and place them in the blender bowl after the pike fillets.
   Peel and grate the onions. Place the onion in a blender bowl for the trout, pour over with lemon juice. Punch everything until smooth.
8. Place the minced trout in a bowl of minced pike.
9. Season the minced fish with salt and pepper, mix until smooth.
10. Finely chop the dill and add to the minced fishbowl.
11. Mix everything well.
12. Divide the dough into 3-4 pieces. Roll each piece into a square and cut into smaller 5×5 cm squares. This is easy to do with a pizza knife.
13. Place the filling (about 1 teaspoon) on each square of dough. Connect two opposite corners of the dough, press the dough along all the edges. Then overlap the long ends to form an almost classic dumpling. (Working with squares instead of the usual circles will significantly reduce the time you work with the test.)
14. Pour water into a saucepan, salt, and bring to a boil. Dip the dumplings in boiling water and simmer over medium heat after boiling and rising for 5 minutes.

Enjoy your meal!
