Siberian Troika Dumplings, 2lb

The dough is made from flour and water, sometimes adding a small portion of eggs.

 

The filling can be minced meat (pork, lamb, beef, fish or any other kind of meat, venison being particularly traditional for colder regions) or mushrooms.
The mixing together of different kinds of meat is also popular.
The traditional Udmurt recipe requires a mixture of 45% beef, 35% mutton, and 20% pork.

Various spices, such as black pepper and diced onions as well as garlic, are mixed into the filling.
They are commonly topped with sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, red onions or vinegar, all of which are traditional to the region and can be produced in the Siberian climate.
