Here is your ‘word-of-the-day’ PELMENI (n, pl):
1) traditional Russian meal, somewhat resembling gigantic raviolis.
2) yours truly - the blogger about Moscow. I have chosen Pelmeni as my alias, ’cause it has a nice ring in it and surely is linked with Russian culture.
So what about Pemeni?
Pelmeni- traditional and very broadly used meal. Could be either a main dish or as a starter which prepared as a soup. Served with sour crème, dill and parsley.
Pelmeni resemble raviolis but are different in the size: much bigger. Usually pelmeni are stuffed with meat: pork and beef. A special treat is hand-made pelmeni when each piece is made separately. It is a joyful activity for the whole family to spend several hours on a weekend to prepare huge amount of hand-made pelmeni that could be then frozen and stored in a freezer. If you happen to try hand-made pelmeni - watch out, there is always a lucky one with a handful of pepper or with a coin inside.
