Week 3, Russian.....

This week I made my version of comfort food.  I made Russian ravioli.  In Russian, we call them "pelmeny".  
They're handmade.  First you make the dough, then fill them with practically anything you choose.  I usually put a mixture of beef and pork inside, but you can even make them with fruit.  Usually when people make these, they make six pounds or more.  It's always good to have "extra" hands to make these.  When I make them, I make enough for a few months and end up freezing a large bag.  Every time I need to eat in a hurry I just throw them in boiling water for five minutes and they're done!

  1. That looks super yummy. I would love to have this recipe. I am all about preparing and freezing meals. I have finally perfected spaghetti sauce and I love to eat ravioli. Did you get your hubby to help with making these?

  3. That looks very tasty! you really put some nice especial touches at the end of every dish. I love pasta,so I will be stealing this recipe. Using fruits instead of meat sounds pretty good too.
