Welcome everyone in this beautiful day!😊

I'm happy that I can made recipe for Steemit Culinary Challenge once again! In last one I took 3rd place, so I'm so really happy! Today I wanna show you recipe from generation to generation in my family for Polish Dumplings. In my country we call it Pierogi. They are absolutely fantasic in taste and my whole country love them! 😍We make them here in many ways with milions types of fillings for every occasion, especially for Xmas. Salty version, as well as sweet version with season fruits like raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and many others. The most popular are "Russian Dumplings" (it's only name of them :D) which they are with potatoe an white cheese filling. For Xmas my mom do them with mushroms. Honestly you can make them with fillings that you like. So I decided to made them with lentils centre! And guess what?
I NEVER ATE THIS BEFORE WITH LENTILS! So yea, this was my first time when I tasted them and I can tell you that they are really tasty! 🙂🙂

I also like them with soy sauce and lighty fried onion.

For preparing portion for 3 people you will need:

one glass of sifted flour (I used special for dumplings)
1/3 cup of warm water
a half tsp of curcuma (for colour)
sprinkle of salt

For preparing filling you will need:
one cup of soaked lentils (I soak them for 9 hours)
a half onion
cup of hot water
two tbsp of oil
two garlic cloves
parsley
soy sauce (as much as you want)
one tsp of balsamic vinegar
a bit of lime juice (or lemon)

Spices
himalayan salt
ground pepper
cucruma
xylitol
cumin (optional)

First of all, we need to start preparing our filling:
into the pot add oil, chopped onion and start lightly frying it.

add soaked lentils, cup of water, spieces and lime juice. Start boil it uder cover about 20 minutes

after that time, add parsley and crushed garlic cloves, mix everything

We can start preparing dough for duplings:

Into bowl add flour, add salt and in the middle make hole like in the picture

gently add mixed water with curcuma

then add oil into it

by hand start mixing dough

take the dough out of bowl and put on the table (it is more comfortable)

You need to remember that the dough must be malleable like silly putty. This allows you to form dumplings much better. And also hold whole dough under cover, otherwise it will start dry out!

Okay, so we have done our dough and filling so we can start forming our dumplings
First of all it's more comfortable, if you'll form dough in little balls, then roll them on table. Add your filling on it, fold it in half and stick ends together. Otherwise during boil all filling will out of dumplings! And we don't want that situation!😁

ready dumplings put in boiled water with oil (it will prevent sticking dumplings to each other) and wait till dumplings swim out.

And that's all guys! If you wish you can spice your dumlings with salt and herbal pepper which make fenomenal flavour and taste! Or like me you can add lighty fry onion on top of it and soak a little bit in soy sauce! Mmmmm delicious! 😋😋😋
