Ingredients
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 medium onion
- 3.5 oz chestnut mushrooms
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
Instructions
- Add around 1 cup water to a saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Then, add the flour to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the water is absorbed and a dough forms.
- Add around 1-2 tbsp flour to a flat surface. Transfer the dough to the same surface and knead until all the extra flour is absorbed.
- Roll the dough out into a thin sheet, around 1/4 an inch in thickness. Use a cup or a glass to cut out small circular shapes in the dough (this recipe makes around 24 pelmeni) and place a small amount of filling in the centre of each. Fold each circle to seal, then join the two edges.
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the pelmeni to the water in batches of around 5-6, and cook until they rise to the surface. Serve immediately. These are also freezer-friendly.
