Step 1: Prepare the dough.

In a saucepan, mix the ingredients with a whisk, then put the dough on the table and knead it with your hands. Carefully knead, make sure that there are no lumps. After the dough is kneaded, leave it for 20-30 minutes. At the end of the time, the dough must be thinly rolled out with a rolling pin and cut into circles.

Step 2: Making the filling.

Cut the cheese into small cubes. Place one cube of cheese on one test circle.

Step 3: We make dumplings.

If you do not have a special device for sculpting dumplings, you will have to make them by hand. So, fold the circle of cheese in half, and gently pinch with the tip of your thumb as shown in the figure. After a couple of minutes of training, you will definitely get beautiful and mouth-watering dumplings.

Step 4: Cook.

Dip dumplings into boiling salted water and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the dough is ready. Then take them out with a slotted spoon and put them on a dish.

Step 5: Serve.

Drizzle finished dumplings with melted butter. Can be served with sour cream and herbs, or simply sprinkled with grated cheese. Good appetite!

For the preparation of dumplings, use the highest grade flour. To get a real Ukrainian dish, you need to mix two types of flour: wheat and buckwheat 1:1.

By the way, the dough can be prepared without adding eggs. Use boiling water instead, then it will turn out pretty cool.

Ready dumplings can be fried, then they will be even tastier and more appetizing with a golden crust.

If the dumplings have a sweet filling, then you can use honey for the sauce or sprinkle them with powdered sugar. And if they are prepared as a main course, then use grated lard, tomatoes, cheese.

Cheese dumplings - general principles of cooking

Cheese dumplings are one of the easiest options for preparing a popular dish, since you do not need to spend time preparing a complex filling. Just grate or cut any cheese and wrap it in circles of dough. The dough itself for dumplings, as usual, is made from flour, eggs, salt and liquid (water or milk). For a more pronounced taste, aromatic seasoning (for example, turmeric) can be added to the dough, but this can also be done with the filling. For dumplings with cheese, you can use one or more cheese varieties. For "mono-filling" it is better to take medium-hard varieties of cheese. Cheese can be mixed in chopped herbs and cottage cheese - the treat will turn out even tastier! You can sculpt dumplings with cheese in any convenient way: cut out small circles from the dough and fill them with cheese, or roll out a layer, lay out pieces of cheese, and cover with another layer of dough on top - all that remains is to cut the “canvas” into dumplings.

Such dumplings are on our table in late May and early June, when in the Vyatka region there is a period of young juicy and tender nettles ... Vareniki with nettle, cottage cheese and cheese are not for everyone, but I think that there can be many such lovers. After all, the dish is very healthy and at the same time satisfying.

Prepare the dough for dumplings according to any suitable recipe from the site, for example, suitable. In my version, it is used in the amount of half the ingredients.

It is very desirable to collect nettles in clean places, away from roads and industrial enterprises, cut off the very tops by 10-15 cm with tender leaves. In a food bag or airtight container, it keeps well and does not fade for several days, 4 days - for sure, and maybe even longer.

Different cheeses are suitable for the filling, in the photo - grated suluguni. When I cook pizza, I rub a large head of suluguni and freeze the rest. Then it can be quickly used in different dishes, it crumbles well, although it looks like a lump. I also cooked nettle dumplings with Adyghe cheese, with different semi-hard ones, with feta, but it is especially tasty when the filling is a mixture of different cheeses!

Chop washed and dried nettles.

Combine fresh nettle greens with cottage cheese and different types of cheeses that need to be grated for the filling. There is mainly Suluguni cheese and a little semi-hard cheese "Nature", thanks to which salt was not needed.

Dumplings are formed in different ways. It is easier in a "waste-free" way, when the dough is rolled out and cut into squares, which are pinched with a triangle. I love this method very much!

And crescent-shaped dumplings with a beautiful pinch along the edge look more spectacular and beautiful, which I can only do with the help of a device, and craftsmen - manually with a "pigtail", etc.

To do this, first you need to thinly roll out a piece of dough, cut the blanks into circles of the desired size.

Take a portion of the filling with a teaspoon, holding it with your finger, it tends to fall apart ... Lay the filling in the center and form a dumpling.

Spread the prepared dumplings with nettle, cottage cheese and cheese on a board sprinkled with flour. They can be frozen for later or cooked immediately in the usual ways (in water, steamed or fried).

To serve a very topical sour cream. Bon Appetit!
