Cabbage dumplings stuffed with minced meat

Cabbage dumplings stuffed with minced meat are unconventional boiled dumplings with cabbage right in the dough. Inside is a juicy filling of pork and beef, smoked meat and onions. The combination of cabbage and several types of meat gives them a distinctive and hearty taste.

Method · 1 h 5 min
  1. Squeeze the sterilized cabbage thoroughly and cut it into smaller pieces if necessary. Cut the buns into small cubes.
  2. Mix the coarse flour with salt and baking powder. Mix the egg yolks in the milk and gradually add them to the flour. Make a dough, into which we add the squeezed cabbage and finally the bread cubes. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it finely. Cut the smoked meat into small cubes. Heat a little oil in a pan, add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the smoked meat and fry briefly.
  4. Add the minced pork and beef to the onion and smoked meat. Season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring constantly, for approximately 7–10 minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Set aside and let cool.
  5. Divide the dough into equal parts. Flatten each part with wet hands, put a portion of the meat filling in the middle and close it tightly into a round dumpling. Place the finished dumplings on a plate lightly sprinkled with coarse flour.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Place the dumplings in the boiling water and, shortly after placing them, carefully remove them from the bottom. Then reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes.
  7. Finally, cut open one dumpling and check whether the dough is cooked in the middle. Remove the finished dumplings with a slotted spoon, let them drain briefly and serve while still warm.
