Khinkali Recipe (Georgian Dumplings)

Step 1

In a large bowl combine the flour with the salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Whisk together using a fork.

Step 2

Add the water to the center and fold the flour into the liquid. Knead the dough by hand until it feels elastic.

Step 3

Cover the kneaded dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Combine the beef with the chicken, minced onion, salt and pepper.

Step 5

Roll out the dough as thin as you possibly can.

Step 6

Cut the dough into 3 inch circles. Place a dollop of the meat filling in the center.

Step 7

Pull the edge over the filling and pinch all around, forming little pockets with meat.

Step 8

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a few of the Khinkali at a time. Once they float to the top, give them 2-4 minutes to simmer.

Step 9

Remove them from the water. Serve with butter, and fresh herbs.
