What it is
Siberia's gift dumplings: tiny, ear-shaped parcels of mixed minced meats and onion, frozen by winter itself and boiled to order by the hundred. Ingredients: flour, water, egg, salt (dough); filling: beef, pork and sometimes lamb, onion, ice water, black pepper; sour cream, butter, vinegar or mustard to serve. Recipe: 1) Knead a stiff dough; rest. 2) Mix minced meats with grated onion, pepper and ice water until juicy. 3) Roll, cut small rounds, fill and pinch into 'ears'. 4) Freeze on trays, then boil until they float plus two minutes. Serve: with melted butter and black pepper, sour cream, or a splash of vinegar — never less than twenty. Flavor: juicy, peppery, primal comfort. History: from the Ural and Siberian winters, where whole households shaped thousands and stored them frozen outdoors; the name may come from a Komi word for 'bread ear'. See also: Shchi, Blini.
