Dumplings made of colored dough for children homemade

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   In order for the dumplings to turn out multicolored, we will use natural dyes. Squeeze the juice out of the carrots using a juicer. We also squeeze the juice from the raw beetroot. Chop the parsley in a blender with the addition of a small amount of water. Then the resulting mixture is squeezed through a sieve or through gauze. Spinach can be used instead of parsley. We proceed to the preparation of the dough.

2. Step 2:

   

   Break the egg and beat it with a fork. I will make three types of dough, and one egg will be enough for all three types. We take carrot juice. Pour 1 \ 3 eggs into it. Add a little salt and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Then gradually add 150 grams of sifted flour. Knead the dough. Perhaps a little more or less flour will be needed. In the same way, we knead the dough with beet juice. Add butter, 1 \ 3 eggs, salt, 150 grams of flour

3. Step 3:

   

   We do the same with green parsley juice. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap. And we give him a "rest" for 15-20 minutes. We prepare minced meat for dumplings. I took the chicken breast. Crushed it with a blender. I added finely chopped onion, salt, pepper. In chicken meat, you can add a little pork or beef. My children love dumplings with chicken meat.

5. Step 4:

   

   Roll out each piece of colored dough with a rolling pin. To prevent the dough from sticking, sprinkle it with a little flour. Using a glass or a shot glass, we cut out the mugs. Put the minced meat in the middle. Minced meat can be put with a teaspoon. You can use a pastry bag. Alternatively, you can put the minced meat in a plastic bag, cut off the corner. In my opinion, it's faster than a spoon. Pinch the edges of the dough. We give the dumplings a traditional look.

6. Step 5:

   

   Dumplings can be frozen for the future. Or you can cook it right away. To do this, we lower the dumplings into boiling salted water. At the beginning of cooking, I recommend stirring the dumplings. After the dumplings have surfaced and the water has boiled again, cook for 5-6 minutes. Since we use natural dyes, keep in mind that when cooking, the color of the dough fades a little. We serve dumplings with sour cream or any favorite sauce. Dumplings are also delicious with broth.
