To prepare such a snack, you can use ready-made dumplings from the store or make them in advance at home. The sauce should be prepared from sour cream and tomato paste. If the sour cream is too thick, then you can pour a little water into the sauce. It is not necessary to bake dumplings in the oven for a long time, as they are pre-boiled.
Ingredients:
- Pelmeni – 200 g.

Also, do not forget to reduce the heat so that the water does not run out of the pan when boiling. Put the finished dumplings on a dish, let them cool down a bit.
2. Then transfer the boiled dumplings to a baking dish, you do not need to lubricate it with anything.
