Rice dumplings: recipes with photos

It is hard to imagine a more traditional dish than dumplings. Despite the fact that many people are used to thinking that the filling for them can only consist of meat, this is not entirely true. The fantasies of hostesses have no limits. And mushrooms, especially mushrooms, are not only a complete, but also a very delicious substitute for meat filling. A dish like dumplings with mushrooms may look unusual for many, but once you try it, you will want to cook it again and again.

How to cook dumplings with mushrooms

In general, dumplings are usually called products from the simplest dough, often cooked only with the addition of flour and water, with a filling, they are boiled in salted water until tender.

The composition of the test may change. Often eggs are added to it for better taste and elasticity. If the eggs are not among the ingredients respected by the hostess, then you can do it differently – brew the flour with very hot, almost boiling water. As a result of kneading, a very tender and more elastic dough will be obtained. It is much more pleasant to deal with it, it is easily rolled and cut. Moreover, it can be prepared in larger quantities and left for several days in the refrigerator. After extraction from there, it practically will not lose its properties.

Stuffing mushrooms can also be prepared in different ways. Most often they are boiled. It will be very tasty to fry mushrooms with the addition of onions and sometimes carrots. Often, sour cream or mayonnaise is added to the fried mushroom filling. And some chefs even leave the mushrooms for the filling raw, only slightly crushing them. This option is suitable exclusively for mushrooms, since other mushrooms require mandatory pre-heat treatment.

The shape of dumplings, as well as their size, is not of particular fundamental importance. Most often, they turn out to be rather large in size due to the fact that the mushrooms are not chopped too finely.
