Lamb Kreplach is a traditional Jewish dish that is loved by many. This delicious dish is made with a combination of lamb, onions, garlic, and spices, all wrapped up in a delicate dough. If you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, then this is the perfect recipe for you!
To make Lamb Kreplach, you will need the following ingredients:
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
For the filling:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To serve:
- Chicken or beef broth
- Chopped fresh parsley
To start, make the dough by combining the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, make the filling. In a large skillet, cook the lamb over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool.
Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut the dough into circles. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kreplach and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove the kreplach from the water with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl.
To serve, heat the broth in a separate pot. Ladle the broth over the kreplach and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Lamb Kreplach is a comforting and satisfying dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The dough is soft and pillowy, while the filling is savory and flavorful. The broth adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the dish. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
