The Russian dish pelmeni ( from a recipe I recently received from 
 some friends in St. Petersburg, Russia ).
 For the meat filling you need:
 1 egg
 1/2 kg of pork
 1/2 kg of beef
 1 onion
 black pepper
 salt
 Mix these ingredients well.
 For the shell part:
 flour (3 parts)
 water (1 part)
 salt
 Mix these ingredients into a thick dough.
 Prepare meat filling.  Prepare the dough.  Roll the dough thin.
 Cut out circles of the dough with the help of a glass or a cup.
 Put a piece of meat filling into the middle the dough circle.  Fold
 the circle and stick the edges together.
 Put them into salted boiling water and cook for 7-10 minutes. They are 
 ready when they lift up on the surface of the water. Lift the cooked 
 pelmenies out from the water, drain,  and place on a plate.
 Or fry the pelmeny with some oil in a frying-pan.
 Put it on the plate, add some sour-cream, pepper, butter, sauce 
 and so on.
 Put it on a deep plate, add some chicken broth.
 For Fried pelmenies: eat with about 100 ml of Russian vodka.
