Step-by-step recipe with photos

Dumplings prepared according to this recipe are “lazy” because each dumpling cannot be molded individually. It is even easier to prepare and larger in size. You can simply pour water into the mold, add salt and lay out the cooked dumplings, then cook in the oven. But I prefer to cook lazy dumplings in different sauces. You can reduce the time it takes to make dumplings by making them easier to make. In this case, the dough is rolled out thinly and the minced meat is distributed in an even layer. The dough with the inside is rolled up and then cut into pieces. Ready-made lazy dumplings are served with sour cream, adjika, and chopped herbs.

To make lazy dumplings in the oven, I prepare the ingredients according to the list.

I peel and wash the onions. I cut one onion into small cubes, two into half rings.

I peel the carrots, wash them, and grate them on a large grater.

I'm preparing minced meat. In a bowl, combine minced meat, diced onion, chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste.

Mix the minced meat well and put it aside.

Then I prepare the dough. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the egg, salt, and melted butter.

I add water and knead the dough. I put it in a bag and put it aside.

I'm preparing the sauce. In a frying pan in butter or vegetable oil, lightly fry the onions. I add grated carrots and fry a little more.

Then I pour in the pureed tomato pulp.

Add sour cream, salt and dark ground pepper to taste.

I pour water into the pan and let the sauce boil.

I take 1/3 of the dough and roll it into a narrow circle with a rolling pin. If necessary, I add a little flour so that the dough does not stick to the table and rolling pin.

Using a glass or a round cutter, I cut out circles from the dough.

I lay out 4 circles in a row, going a little beyond the previous one.

Using the round handle of a wooden spoon or spatula, I press the circles as in the photo.

I place the minced meat in a strip in the center of the circles.

I close the minced meat by folding the dough circles in half.

I roll the dough with minced meat into a “roll”.

I pinch the edge of the resulting “rose” so that the workpiece does not unwind. You can spread the petals slightly to the sides so that the “roses” come out the most beautiful. This is how I make other dumplings.

I prepare lazy dumplings in several forms, but you can bake them in one larger form. I distribute the sauce into the molds.

I place the lazy dumplings in the mold with the sauce, leaving little distance from each other, because they will increase in size during cooking.

Cover the pan with foil.

I place the forms of lazy dumplings in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. I cook for about 45-50 minutes.

To make dumplings using the traditional method, you need to have free time, because making them is a difficult and lengthy process. Prepare delicious lazy dumplings even faster.

flour - 3 cups;
testicle - 1 pc.;
water - 2/3 cup;
pork - 150 g;

onion - 1 pc.;
carrots - 1 pc.;
garlic - 2 or 3 cloves;
butter - 100 g;
sour cream or mayonnaise, khmeli-suneli - for sauce;
salt and pepper to taste.

Ground meat. First, you need to start making minced meat, although you can take ready-made ones. The meat is cut into cubes and turned through a meat grinder along with onions. The minced meat is seasoned with spices and salt to taste. Spicy lovers can add garlic by passing it through a garlic press.
Dough. Pour the flour directly onto the table or into a deep and wide bowl in a heap, create a depression in the middle into which to break one egg and add salt. Pour water onto the slide with the egg in portions, stirring everything. The dough for dumplings must be quite stiff and not stick to your hands or the surface of the dish or table. Form a ball from the resulting mass, wrap it in cling film and let it brew for half an hour.
Forming a roll. The dough is rolled out on the table into a rectangular layer no more than 2 mm wide. All the minced meat is distributed on top of the dough without any residue. The dough with the inside is rolled into a roll and pressed well with your hands to strengthen the adhesion of the layers.
Portioning dumplings. The finished roll is cut with a sharp knife into large equal portions. This is the secret of the highest speed of making lazy dumplings, when you don’t have to sculpt any individual dumpling with your hands.
Sauce. In a separate container, mix sour cream or mayonnaise with a generous pinch of suneli hops for an inimitable taste and spiciness.

Sour cream or mayonnaise sauce is added to lightly fried vegetables, and pieces of meatloaf (lazy dumplings) are placed on top. Cover everything with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until the water has completely evaporated.
Innings. Place the dumplings on the table hot, lightly sprinkled with chopped herbs. Bon appetit!

If you associate traditional and lazy cooking recipes, you can see that the component composition of these dishes is monotonous, the difference lies only in the method of their formation.

Advice! To prevent the dough from stretching and sticking to the knife while cutting the meatloaf, you need to dip it into a glass of cool water from time to time. This will make the formation of portions even faster and easier.
