Minced meat for Ural dumplings

The main difference between the dumplings, which are so loved by the inhabitants of the Urals, from others is the use of several types of meat for cooking minced meat. It is believed that in this case, the dumplings are especially tasty, juicy and appetizing.

So, minced meat for Ural dumplings should consist of at least three types of meat. In our case, it will be beef, pork and lamb. But, knowing the basic rules for preparing minced meat for this wonderful and satisfying dish, you can safely replace one of the components with another or add another type of meat. For example, put turkey meat instead of lamb or replace beef with chicken fillet.

First of all, meat of all kinds should be thoroughly rinsed under running water. Then let the water drain or wipe the meat with paper towels. Further, in order for the minced meat to have a delicate and homogeneous structure, it is advisable to cut out all the veins and take off the films. And only then cut the meat into small pieces.

Install a meat grinder with a fine grate and scroll through it all kinds of meat in turn. Mix the minced meat well with your hands so that the chopped beef, pork and lamb are mixed together.

Peel the onion, rinse and grate on a coarse grater. After that, also add to the minced meat. Chopped onion will give a special softness and tenderness to the filling.

To add a little spice and piquancy, garlic is also usually added to the minced meat. To do this, it must be cleaned, disassembled into teeth. And then pass the garlic through a special press. Then also add to the minced meat.

Season the minced meat with salt and ground black pepper to your liking.

Mix the minced meat again with your hands and put it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely chop the ice in a blender. Pull out a bowl of chilled minced meat and stir in crushed ice. So the minced meat will be even juicier and tastier.

Put the minced meat in the refrigerator again, this time for half an hour. And after that, you can start modeling dumplings.

Bon appetit!
