Ingredients
For the dough:
  • 350g of flour
  • 200ml of room temperature water
  • 2tablespoons of oil
  • 1teaspoon of salt
For the filling:
  • 135g of white button mushrooms
  • 75g of fresh spinach
  • 3cloves of garlic(each clove ~5 g)
  • pinch of salt
Other ingredients:
  • water with spices or vegetable stock for boiling the dumplings
Instructions
To prepare the dough:
  1. in a bowl sift together flour and salt;
  2. in a glass mix together water and oil, then add it to the flour and mix everything together. Once you cannot mix it anymore with a spoon, start kneading the dough with your hands until it doesn’t stick anymore to your fingers (if necessary, gradually add a bit extra flour);
  3. set the dough aside and cover with a towel to avoid that it gets dry.
To prepare the filling:
  1. chop spinach and mushrooms in tiny pieces (or use food processor for this step);
  2. put both ingredients in a frying pan, add crushed garlic, salt and cook everything until all the liquid from the ingredients has evaporated.
To prepare the Russian dumplings:
  1. separate the dough in four equal parts. Take one part and roll it out until it’s very, very thin, but not transparent. With a big glass cut out circle shaped pieces. In the middle of every circle put a bit of the filling, fold the circle to create a half moon shape and then join the two ends together. Continue until you finish all the dough and all the filling;
  2. cook several dumplings (don’t put too many of them together, because they might stick together) in hot water with spices and bay leaves or in hot vegetable stock for approximately 5 – 7 minutes. Once the dumplings are ready, they will float to the top. Serve immediately with fresh dill and vegan sour cream, vegan mayonnaise or any other sauce of your choice.
