Pelmeni
Good nutritional profile
Russian meat dumplings.
Pelmeni are small Russian dumplings of thin wheat and egg dough filled with seasoned ground pork and beef with onion, boiled in salted water or broth and served with sour cream, butter or vinegar. They are high in protein, with moderate fat from the meat and refined carbohydrate from the dough. Sour cream and butter add calories quickly, so a spoonful of sour cream or a splash of vinegar is enough.
