Lenten dumplings with eggplant and smoked tofuRussian cuisine | Main courses

Vegan dumplings with eggplant and smoked tofu are an original dish of Russian cuisine that reflects a modern approach to traditional flavors. Instead of the classic meat filling, a spicy mix of eggplant, smoked tofu, and green peas is used, seasoned with thyme and oregano. The dough made with boiling water is elastic and tender, perfectly holding the juicy filling. The dumplings cook in just a few minutes and are recommended to be served with tahini or soy sauce, which adds depth to the flavor. This dish is not only suitable for a fasting diet but also pleasantly surprises with its rich texture and aroma. The light smoky taste of tofu combined with the sweet eggplant makes these dumplings an excellent choice for lovers of unusual flavor combinations.
