Vareniki are a tasty and filling dish that many housewives prepare themselves and most often serve with sour cream.

Semi-finished products are also a great lifesaver if you don’t have time to cook, but you need to feed yourself and your family quickly.

But if the filling is made from potatoes or mushrooms, then you should not rush to drain the water after cooking.

After all, a good housewife never lets anything go to waste.

The thing is that such liquid will be an excellent component for preparing a delicious sauce for lunch.

In a deep bowl, mix together just 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, a teaspoon of vinegar and sugar, and preferably add a little pepper and the juice of 2-3 cloves of garlic.

Once all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, you can add the water that remains after cooking the dumplings.

It is enough to take only 5 tablespoons of broth to serve the sauce with the main dish.
