How to cook dumplings from radish: remember old recipes

Classic recipe

Dumplings with radish in our time is almost exotic, and exotic is always worth trying. Moreover, expensive dishes are not required for this dish.

For the test you will need:

• flour - 500 g;
• egg - 2 pieces;
• salt - ½ teaspoon;
• water - 1 cup;
• vegetable oil (optional) - ½ teaspoon.

For the filling you will need:

• green or black radish - 500 g;
• onion - 1 medium head;
• salt to taste;
• asafoetida or garlic - to taste;
• butter (or sour cream) - 100 g.

Cooking

1. Knead the dough: sift the flour into a large bowl, pour water into it, after dissolving the egg and salt in it. If desired, you can add vegetable oil - it will give softness. Knead the dough and leave it under the towel for 30 minutes to completely dissolve the flour grains.
2. Grate the radish on a medium grater, squeeze it well, leaving very little juice, so that the dumplings do not fall apart during cooking. Chop or grate the onions.
   Combine vegetables, butter and salt. Add garlic or asafoetida if desired, if not sharp enough. If you want, you can put the filling out over medium heat with butter (then it’s not necessary to add additional oil).
3. Roll out the dough, but not too thin. Make circles or squares (as you like) and lay out the filling on them. Do not put too much - it is necessary that there is a small airspace inside, otherwise the dumplings will fall apart.
4. Put the products in boiled salted water and cook after boiling for about 10 minutes (depending on size). But do not digest, so that the radish does not lose its texture (that is, it does not turn into a mess). Remember that there should be plenty of water so that the dumplings do not stick together and completely boil. In the broth, you can add butter, bay leaf, peeled onion, black peppercorns and any other spices.

Serve dumplings with broth, sour cream, fat cream, fried onions, melted butter or herbs.
