Crispy, round dumplings with minced meat. Recipe for Simples

Simpletons These are a type of dumplings with meat filling that, although simple, will surely delight your guests. They can be used both as a snack at parties and as a treat that you can serve for a family dinner. Their preparation is incredibly simple, and if you want to speed up the work a bit, use ready-made dough, e.g. filo or wonton dumplings.

To prepare this recipe, you will need:

• 300 g of flour,
• 125 g of boiling water,
• 20 g of butter,
• a large pinch of salt.

Ingredients for the filling:

• 350 g minced pork (e.g. from the shoulder),
• 1 onion,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• 1 teaspoon of sweet pepper,
• a teaspoon of savory,
• ½ teaspoon of hot pepper,
• salt, pepper (to taste).

Melt the butter in boiling water, then pour water over the flour. Add salt and mix quickly with a mixer. Knead the dough into a ball, wrap it in foil and set aside to rest for about 10-15 minutes.

Finely chop the onion and fry in oil. At the end, add the pressed garlic. Then put the meat in the pan and fry it (together with the onion). Season to taste with salt, pepper, savory and both peppers.

Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll out each of them quite thinly. Cut out round cakes with a diameter of about 5-10 cm. Knead the remaining pieces of dough again and repeat the previous steps. If necessary, you can sprinkle the dough with a small amount of flour.

Place a portion of stuffing on half of the discs. Cover with “free” discs and seal the edges. Place the dumplings on a greased baking tray and place in an oven preheated to 200°C. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning them halfway through baking. You can also fry them in a pan so that they are brown on both sides. Serve the simpletons warm or cold. You can serve them with your favorite sauce.
