Ingredients
- 8 oz all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water (hot)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1.1 lbs minced meat
- 7 oz white onions
- 1/2 cup water
- Half teaspoon fine salt
- black pepper (ground)
- butter + vegetable oil
- broth
Steps
Start preparing the dough for the pastry, putting hot water with salt and egg in a bowl. Incorporate the sifted flour and knead the mixture, which will be soft and elastic.
Form a dough ball and let it rest for half an hour, covered in the floured bowl.
Prepare the filling by putting the minced meat in a bowl, add finely chopped onions, salt, a sprinkle of ground black pepper, and water.
Mix the meat mixture well and set it aside.
After the thirty minutes of rest, take the dough and roll it out on the floured work surface. Form a thin pastry rectangle a few millimeters thick, about 18 inches wide and 14 inches.
Spread the meat mixture evenly on top, leaving a small edge of about 3/4 inch on one side.
Starting from the widest side, roll the filled pastry onto itself.
Roll up to the edge you left empty and overlap it well, forming a long and compact roll.
With a spatula, cut neatly into pieces of the roll about 1.5-2 inches each, making about 12-14 pieces.
Turn them and place them on the floured work surface as you cut.
In a high-edged pan, put a knob of butter and vegetable oil, optionally, you can add some vegetables for the sauté, or 1 tablespoon of ready-made sauté in a jar.
When the butter is melted, gently place the pasta rolls with meat inside and fry them over medium-low heat.
Fry for about 4 minutes on one side, then turn them and fry the other side until they are lightly golden.
At this point, pour hot meat broth into the pan, which can be chicken, beef, or vegetable.
You will need about half a liter, and you should cover the pasta rolls with broth up to the edge.
Add a pinch of bay leaf to the broth, put the lid on the pan and cook for 20 minutes over medium-low heat.
Once cooked, the broth will have been absorbed and you can serve the pasta and meat rolls with a sprinkle of fresh chopped dill or sour cream.
ENJOY YOUR MEAL!!!
