No. 1696 — Siberian Pelmeni with Pork and Game
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1696 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Finely chop one grated onion, half a pound sliced raw pork, half a pound kidney fat and half a pound boneless game or raw beef.
Mince together, season with black and allspice peppers, cloves and finely crushed ice.
Prepare dough and pelmeni as in No. 1691, and cook.
Serve in the broth in which they boiled or with a red meat sauce seasoned with butter, lemon juice or vinegar.
Historical editorial note: The method says raw pork but the ingredient list refers to ham; the discrepancy is preserved. Cook raw filling thoroughly.
