Vareniki with sauerkraut are a classic dish of Russian cuisine, infused with the spirit of traditions. Their history dates back to times when housewives skillfully used sauerkraut to give the dough a special flavor. Vareniki have a rich, slightly sour taste that perfectly complements the softness of the dough. The uniqueness of this recipe is the diamond shape, which not only gives a unique appearance but also enhances the filling's flavor. They are traditionally served with butter or sour cream, creating a perfect combination of textures. These vareniki can be prepared in advance and frozen, making them a convenient option for family dinners or celebrations. Each serving is warmth and taste of home.
