Vareniki are a Slavic dish, most common in Ukrainian cuisine, in the form of boiled unleavened dough products filled with minced meat, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, cottage cheese, and berries.

Similar to dumplings are the dumplings (ushka, permeni, manty) of Eastern Russia and Siberia, subcogli of Mari cuisine and sorcerers of Western Russia, as well as many dishes of traditional Chinese cuisine. The main difference between these dishes is the fillings and the external shape of the boiled products.

Lenten dumplings with cherries will be appreciated not only by religious people and vegetarians. This is a very tasty dish, and the absence of eggs in the dough does not spoil it. Quite the contrary, the dough rolls out better without them and does not harden from the cherry juice. Today we will prepare wonderful Lenten dumplings with cherries!

Dumplings with cherries can be prepared not only during the harvest season. Frozen cherries will work well in the filling at any time of the year. Usually the cherries are pitted and then the cherry juice is allowed to drain. The juice is served with ready-made dumplings. But we suggest you try another method.

While it's in season, while you can buy fresh cherries, make dumplings with whole berries. Firstly, it's faster, there's no fuss with removing the seeds. Secondly, it is easier to sculpt. Juice will not leak from whole berries, the dumplings will stick together well and will not fall apart. Thirdly, it tastes better. Dumplings will have a richer taste. Well, it’s not difficult to spit out the seeds; it’s even interesting to roll them around in your mouth, freeing them from the sweet pulp.

If you like large dumplings with cherries (often in the south they are made the size of half a palm), the ears may not be cooked through. You can bite them off and throw them away. These dumplings are eaten carefully so that the juice does not leak out. They take it with their hands, hold it vertically, and with the first bites they suck out the incomparable sweet juice.

Ingredients

cherries, 400 g flour, 2.5 cups water, 200 ml vegetable oil, 50 ml salt, 0.5 tsp. sugar, to taste

How to cook Lenten dumplings with cherries

Mix salt, oil and water, put on fire and bring to a boil.

Pour in half the flour, quickly stirring the mixture with a spoon.

Scatter the rest of the flour on the table and knead the dough. It should turn out elastic, soft, and roll out well.

Roll out the dough into a thin layer and squeeze out circles with a glass.

Place a small pile of berries in the center of each circle, sprinkle with sugar and make dumplings. We recommend doing exactly this - sprinkle sugar on top of the cherries, rather than mixing berries and sugar in a bowl. Juice will begin to actively release in the mixture, which can ruin everything. If you removed the seeds, you can sprinkle the filling with a pinch of flour to thicken the juice.

You can cook lean dumplings with cherries in boiling water and steam. If you use the first option, take a wide pan and add the dumplings in small portions so as not to stick together. Cook for about 5 minutes after boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Serve with honey, sugar, powdered sugar, sour cream, syrup, whipped cream.

Bon appetit!

How to cook dumplings with cherries. Recipe

We set the frozen cherries to defrost in advance at room temperature for several hours.

We are preparing. Watch the link for a video recipe for the test.
Take a round cookie cutter, glass or jar. I use a regular glass.
Cut out circles from the rolled out dough. Remove excess dough.

Now we prepare the filling for the dumplings. The cherries gave a lot of juice when defrosting. Pour this juice into a clean container and lightly squeeze the cherries.

Place a cherry in the middle of each dough circle. You need very little cherries.

Sprinkle the cherries with sugar. If the cherries are very juicy, then you can also lightly sprinkle them with flour, literally a pinch for each dumpling.

Connect the edges of the circle. We carefully seal them and press them with our fingers so that the dumplings with cherries do not fall apart.
Place these semi-finished dumplings neatly in rows on a cutting board or tray, generously sprinkled with flour. In this form you can freeze them for storage. Or you can cook it and eat it right away. Pour more water into a large saucepan and put it on the fire. We are waiting for the water to boil. Add a little salt to the water and drop the dumplings into it one at a time. Cook over high heat. They need to be cooked in small batches to avoid sticking together.

After a couple of minutes of cooking, gently stir the dumplings with a slotted spoon to loosen them from the bottom of the pan.
If they float up, they are ready. Remove the dumplings with the same slotted spoon and add the next batch to the pan.

Ready-made dumplings with cherries can be topped with vegetable oil, jam or sweet syrup as desired.

Dilute the cherry juice that remains after defrosting the cherries with water and serve with dumplings.
