There are many different ways to prepare kolduny, but almost all recipes use flour and eggs. Of course, adding these products affects the taste of the dish.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, suggests trying a unique recipe for kolduny without flour and eggs - the dish turns out surprisingly tasty, and the costs for its preparation, which cannot but please, are reduced.
As usual, you should start by preparing the necessary ingredients. For 2 kilograms of potatoes you will need:
- 500 g minced meat;
- 4 onions;
- 2 teaspoons salt;
- ground black pepper – to taste;
- butter – for frying;
- greens – optional.
Chop the onion in any convenient way (blender, grater, knife), and grate the potatoes on a fine grater.
Mix the onion and potato, squeeze the juice through cheesecloth or cloth. Do not pour out the liquid – let it settle.
After some time, drain the juice and add the remaining starch to the potato mixture, salt and pepper to taste.
Start forming the dumplings. Take some of the potato mass, form an oval flatbread, put some minced meat in the middle of the flatbread and cover it with potato mass.
Fry the kolduny in butter until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the kolduny to a heat-resistant form, add pieces of butter and cover with foil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 50 minutes. Remove the foil 10 minutes before the end of cooking to form a light crust.
