ЧЕБУРЕКИ - просто ИДЕАЛЬНЫЙ рецепт БЕЗ заморочек (без водки, уксуса и разрыхлителя)

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to making perfect chebureki, a delicious pastry filled with juicy meat and wrapped in a thin, crispy dough. The recipe features a simple dough made with water and flour, eliminating the need for vodka, vinegar, or baking powder. Follow these instructions to create a delightful dish that is sure to impress.

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

To create the dough for your chebureki, gather the following ingredients:

• 300 g of flour
• 0.5 tsp of salt
• 150 ml of very hot water
• 2 tbsp of vegetable oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Gradually add the very hot water while stirring the mixture. This helps to activate the gluten and ensures a pliable dough.
3. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the dough begins to form.
4. Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
5. Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out later.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

For the filling, you will need:

• 300 g of meat (your choice: beef, lamb, or pork)
• 190 g of onion
• 80-100 ml of water
• 0.5 tsp of salt (adjust to taste)
• Ground pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Finely chop the onion and place it in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the minced meat to the bowl with the chopped onions.
3. Pour in the water and mix well. The water keeps the filling juicy and moist.
4. Season with salt and ground pepper, mixing until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Chebureki

Instructions

1. Divide the rested dough into equal portions (about the size of a golf ball).
2. Roll each portion into a thin circle on a floured surface.
3. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto one half of the dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
4. Fold the other half over the filling to create a semi-circle.
5. Press the edges together firmly to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 4: Fry the Chebureki

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. You need enough oil to fully submerge the chebureki.
2. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chebureki in the oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
3. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chebureki from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully made delicious chebureki with a crispy crust and flavorful filling. Enjoy them hot as a snack or serve them as part of a meal. Feel free to experiment with different fillings or spices to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
