Lazy dumplings - made from pita bread and minced meat on a vegetable bed in the oven

I don’t know about you, but I always have Armenian thin lavash in my house, because my family loves lavash dishes. And I have many recipes from it that you can use. Today we will prepare lazy dumplings, and instead of dough we will use thin pita bread.

We need:

2 pita breads
700-800 g of minced meat (if we are cooking for a small family, then 500 g)
2 onions
2 carrots
100 g sour cream or mayonnaise
100 g water
salt, pepper, spices to taste
greens to taste
vegetable oil

Preparation:

1.Fry chopped carrots and onions in vegetable oil.

2. The minced meat must be salted, peppered and seasoned with spices. We divide it into two parts, just like we have two sheets of pita bread.

3. Place one half of the minced meat on a sheet of pita bread and distribute it over the entire sheet. The meat layer should be about 3 mm.

We wrap it in a roll. We do the same with the second sheet. Leave for 10 minutes to soak.

4. After, cut the rolls into pieces 3 cm in size.

5. Prepare a baking dish; it is better, if you have one, to take a glass round one with a small diameter (cm. 20), this is the case when you have a small family. Grease the pan with butter (bottom and sides) and place the fried vegetables evenly along the bottom of the pan.

6. Place the rolls on the vegetable pillow, not too tightly to each other.

7. Prepare the filling by mixing sour cream with water, adding salt, and adding chopped herbs if desired.

Fill the prepared rolls and place them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes. To prevent the top from browning too much, cover with either a lid or foil. After 30 minutes of baking, you can remove the foil and continue baking.

We can also bake it in a frying pan, under the lid.

8. Serve the finished dumplings with sour cream.

Lazy dumplings, as we see, can be baked in the oven or fried in a frying pan, whichever is convenient for you, the taste will not deteriorate from this, but they turn out like regular dumplings, tasty and juicy.

Bon appetit!

I make the dough in a large bowl. Sift the flour. Above, I already told you about flour, which is different for everyone and everywhere. So let's start with 350 grams. In a separate bowl, mix 2 eggs, a spoonful of vegetable oil, salt, water and add all this to the flour. Knead the dough, but without fanaticism. It’s better and more convenient to finish this whole thing on the table.

Next, knead our dough thoroughly. The process will last at least 5 minutes. It should not stick to your hands, so if you see that you want more flour, add the remaining 30 grams little by little. Wrap the dough in film and set aside for 20-30 minutes. During this time we will make minced meat and onion pillow.

I never buy ready-made minced meat and I don’t advise you to. It's better to take the meat and grind it. Quite ok with one pork, lamb or veal. I don’t really like it with pure beef, but it’s a matter of taste.

Grind the meat (in my case, pork and beef) along with the onion, add salt, pepper, egg and mix. Somehow I simply forgot to add an egg to the minced meat - the dish turned out no worse and nothing fell apart.

Peel and chop the garlic. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Heat a frying pan, add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil and fry the onion over low heat until transparent. At the very end, about 30 seconds, add the garlic and fry everything together. Turn off the pan and return to our test.

Sprinkle the table a little with flour. I divide the dough into 2 parts. I wrap one back in film, roll the second into a sort of sausage, and then into a rectangle, turning it over several times in the process. The thickness is about a millimeter. Distribute half of the minced meat evenly on top.

Roll the dough into a roll and cut into pucks about 4-5 cm in size.

Distribute our lazy dumplings over an onion bed, add broth, about a tablespoon of chopped herbs (in my case parsley and dill), 20 grams of butter (if you want), cover with a lid, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.

As you can see, the rolls are located at quite a distance from each other. During the cooking process they will increase by one and a half times, or even two. Let's look under the lid in 20 minutes. Beauty! If necessary, add a little extra broth or water.

Well, while the first batch is being prepared, let’s roll out the second half of the dough, do all the same operations and cut it into pucks.

Next is the second version of the pillow sauce. Cut the onion into half rings, the paprika into strips, the tomatoes into slices, and chop the garlic. Add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil, 10 grams of butter to the frying pan and first fry the onion until lightly golden, then add garlic and pepper, fry for another couple of minutes. Add tomatoes and fry for another minute.

Now that the tomatoes are not the best, I use them in my juice. 4 tomatoes + 200 g of water are replaced with a 400 g can of tomatoes in their own juice, along with this same juice and +100 g of water.

So, after adding tomatoes and water, the sauce has boiled, add sugar, salt, and, if desired, a little chili pepper, basil, and base the second portion of lazy dumplings on top. Close the lid and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes. If you see that after 15-20 minutes there is almost no liquid left, add a little.

Dumplings are loved in every home. Homemade dumplings made with your own hands are considered especially significant for those who love a delicious lunch. But how tiring it is to spend hours making little lumps of dough and minced meat that attract you to the table.

The solution is recipes for lazy dumplings - a dish that is not inferior to the original either in taste or appearance.

Oven recipes

The secret of this recipe lies in the cooking method, because lazy dumplings do not require individual modeling. And one of the quick and enjoyable ways to prepare lazy dumplings is to bake them in the oven.

Ingredients:

flour – 3-4 tbsp;
egg – 1 pc;
minced meat – 0.5 kg;
– 1-2 pcs;
carrots – 1 piece;
tomato paste, frying oil, salt, pepper and spices;
water – 2 tbsp.

Preparation:

In a deep bowl, mix 1 glass of water, a pinch of salt and 1 egg until smooth.
Add flour into the mixture in small portions, continuing to stir. The dough will begin to thicken, continue kneading until we get an elastic and soft dough.
Place the finished dough aside for 30-40 minutes to allow it to rest - this will give it more elasticity necessary to obtain a thin layer.
You can prepare vegetable gravy. In a frying pan greased with vegetable oil, fry the onion, peeled and cut into small cubes, until golden brown.
Peel the carrots and chop them on a fine grater. Add the fried onion to the frying pan and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes.
Add 2-3 tbsp to the pan. tomato paste, 1 glass of water, salt and favorite spices. The vegetable mixture will serve as a gentle “cushion” for lazy dumplings and add juiciness to them.
We begin to “sculpt” dumplings. The dough needs to be rolled out to a thin layer, no more than 3 mm thick and a shape approaching rectangular. For convenience, divide a large piece of dough into 2 smaller pieces and roll them out alternately.
Spread the minced meat onto the rolled out dough in an even layer. It can be peppered and salted.
Roll the resulting “blank” of dough and minced meat into a roll and cut into rings 3-4 cm wide. These will be dumplings.
Pour the prepared vegetable gravy onto a deep baking sheet and place the chopped roll rings here. You get small rosettes from dough and minced meat in vegetable gravy.
Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil and place in the oven preheated to 180°C for 45 minutes. Remove the foil from the baking sheet and put it in the oven to simmer for another 20-25 minutes. Ready-made lazy dumplings look elegant and can be served at the holiday table.

In the described version, products that are available to every housewife are used. The dish can be supplemented with cheese crumbles sprinkled on “dumpling roses”, chopped zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes in a vegetable “pillow” or replace the vegetable sauce with sour cream sauce.

Frying pan recipes

For housewives who don’t like to deal with the oven and value speed of cooking, there are recipes for lazy dumplings in a frying pan. Such dumplings are no less appetizing, and they are attractive in appearance, so they are even suitable for a holiday table.

Ingredients:

flour – 3-4 tbsp;
egg – 1 pc;
minced meat – 0.5 kg;
onions – 1-2 pcs;
carrots – 1 piece;
sour cream – 1 tbsp;
tomato paste – 1 tbsp;
frying oil, salt, pepper and spices;
greenery;
water – 2 tbsp.

Preparation:

It is better to start cooking with the dough so that it has time to “rest”, this will improve the stickiness and elasticity, and it will be more convenient to work with it. For the dough, we need to mix flour, 1 glass of water, an egg and a pinch of salt in a deep bowl. It’s better to beat the egg a little, you can immediately add salt and water, and only then add flour to the mixture. You need to knead thoroughly to prevent the formation of flour lumps, and the consistency of the dough should be elastic, but not hard.
While the dough is cooling, prepare a frying pan in which we will stew the lazy dumplings. The pan must be used with high edges and a tight-fitting lid. Grease the bottom of the frying pan with oil for frying.
Peel and chop the onions and carrots: the onions into small cubes, for quickness the carrots can be grated on a fine grater.
Place the onion in a heated frying pan and fry until golden brown. Add carrots to the onion and simmer together for a few minutes. Let the vegetables fry for a few minutes without heat to form the dumplings.
To make dumplings using the lazy method, you need to roll out the dough in a large layer, no more than 3 mm thick and rectangular in shape. For ease of rolling, you can divide the dough into 2-3 equal parts and roll out the layers one by one.
Place the minced meat on the dough and distribute it evenly over the entire surface. You can use any minced meat. If necessary, you can pepper the minced meat directly laid out on the dough, and you can also add your favorite spices to the meat, herbs or a little onion.
We roll the entire workpiece into a roll and cut it into pieces 3-4 cm wide. On one side, the resulting pieces are slightly molded into the edges of the dough, as if “sealing” them, and the edges with the cut and visible minced meat remain open and look like a rose.
Place the lazy rose dumplings on the sealed side in a frying pan on top of the vegetables and fry them together a little. This will secure them and prevent the meat juice from leaking out of the dumplings.
After frying, add the stewing mixture to the same pan - spoons of tomato paste and sour cream with spices mixed in a glass of water. Drenched dumplings should not be submerged in gravy. Let the top part be a little higher - this way they will not lose their shape and taste.
Simmer everything together on medium in a frying pan under a closed lid for 30-40 minutes.
Open the lid, sprinkle with finely chopped herbs and let simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the excess water from the pan to evaporate.

Minced meat can be anything. Minced meat is rolled together with onions.

Then place the dough in a bowl, cover and leave it for 20 minutes.

Apply half of the minced meat onto the resulting flatbread, leaving the edges untouched.
Very carefully roll the dough with minced meat along the oval into a roll.
You can pinch the edges of the dough a little with your fingers. We repeat the same manipulations with the remaining dough and minced meat.
Cut the roll into small columns.
Roll each resulting dumpling in flour, pressing lightly on the ends.
Place dumplings in a frying pan with vegetable oil (no more than 15 g). Fry them on one side until a tender crust forms.
Then pour boiling water into the pan until approximately halfway up the height of the dumplings and cover with a lid. We wait 20-30 minutes.
If all the water has evaporated and the dumplings are not ready yet, you can add a little more boiling water.
At the end of cooking, open the lid and leave the pan with dumplings on the fire until all the water has evaporated.
