Well-prepared dumplings are an extremely tasty addition to borscht. They are usually stuffed with dried mushrooms and fried onion. It turns out, however, that it is worth adding something else to them to make them tastier. This method is recommended by Sister Anastazja.
The key is to add an unusual ingredient to the stuffing, such as white beans. Its purpose is to combine the taste of other products and additionally give structure to the mass. What’s more, white beans can make you the stuffing will not be dry, so it will not fall apart during gluing.

Preparing this tasty stuffing with a unique consistency is not complicated. According to Sister Anastazja’s recipe, to make it, we will need the following ingredients:
- 150 g white beans,
- 1 onion,
- 5-6 dried mushrooms,
- 1 breadcrumbs,
- frying oil,
- salt and pepper.
The first step in preparing the stuffing is to soak the beans and dried mushrooms in separate containers. We leave them like this for at least 8 hours. This will make the mushrooms soft and aromatic, and the beans will cook faster.
After straining the ingredients cook the beans until soft, then cook the mushrooms in the same water until they soften. Then chop the onion finely and fry it in oil so that it is not browned, but only soft.
The next step is blending the beans and mushrooms to obtain a smooth, but not liquid mass. Add breadcrumbs and fried onion and season everything. Mix everything thoroughly and After cooling slightly, we use it to stuff ears.
