Kurgan dumplings

50 minutes
Kurgan dumplings are a true embodiment of Russian culinary tradition with a deep history. Their uniqueness lies in being baked in a pot, which gives the dish extraordinary juiciness and rich flavor. The delicate dough, rolled thinly, envelops a fragrant mixture of beef and pork seasoned with spices and onions. The addition of liver and mushrooms adds zest, while the sour cream sauce with 'Southern' sauce creates a velvety texture. Baked in the oven under a golden crust, these dumplings turn into a true gastronomic masterpiece. They are served hot directly in pots, allowing the flavor to unfold gradually with each new bite. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive feast, warming the soul and providing a sense of home comfort.
