Russian pelmeni with a tangy sauce made from olives and semi-dried tomatoes

Ingredients

FOR 4 PEOPLE: Dough: 300 g white flour - ¼ teaspoon salt - 1 egg - 1 dl water - 20 g butter, softened Filling: 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil - 2 onions, finely chopped - 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped - 400 g minced meat (pork) - 4 tbsp semi-skimmed sour cream - ½ bunch of chives, finely chopped - ½ tsp salt - a little pepper SAUCE 2 liters vegetable broth - 250 g semi-skimmed sour cream - ½ bunch chives, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons D'Amico Olive Sauce - 5 D'Amico Semi-dried Tomatoes

Instructions

Dough:

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the egg, water, and butter, mix, and knead for approx. 15 min. Until you have a soft, smooth dough. Shape into a ball and leave to rest at room temperature for approx. 30 min. in a bowl rinsed under warm water.

Filling:

Heat the oil in a pan. Briefly fry the onions and garlic, remove and leave to cool. Stir in the minced meat, low-fat sour cream and chives, then season.

Shaping the pelmeni:

Roll out the dough a little at a time to a thickness of approx. 2 mm and cut out approx. 50 discs of approx. 8 cm in diameter. Place 1/2 tsp of filling in the center of each disc, fold into a half-moon shape and press the edges together firmly, removing any air. Bring the two corners together, seal well and place on a floured cloth.

Broth:

Bring the broth to a boil. Cook the pelmeni a few at a time in boiling broth for about 7 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon, drain them, and keep them warm. Mix the D'Amico black olive sauce into the sour cream. Plate the pelmeni and season them with the semi-fat sour cream, chives, and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
