Not all housewives like to use spices when preparing dumpling mince, as they are afraid that the spices will interrupt the aroma and taste of the meat.
But don't think that this will spoil the dish.
If you choose the right seasonings, the quality of the dumplings will improve significantly.
What spices will transform the taste of minced meat for dumplings
Bay leaf
Everyone knows that this spice favorably highlights the taste of any meat, making it more noble and rich. For minced meat, it is worth using the ground version.
If you don’t have one, you can grind a couple of whole leaves in a coffee grinder.
Black pepper
This spice is added to almost all first and second courses, so pelmeni will not be an exception. Black pepper perfectly emphasizes the taste of meat.
Paprika
Any kind of paprika will do for dumplings. This spice makes the taste of dumplings richer and more pleasant. Also, the filling turns out more aromatic, which makes the dish incredibly appetizing.
Coriander
If you want the mince to be even more flavorful, you should add chopped cilantro. This greenery reminds many of Eastern cuisine, which perfectly "copes" with meat dishes.
