PELMENI (SIBERIAN RAVIOLI)
This is Russian comfort food. I ate it quite a lot when I was studying in Moscow in the early 1980s. I ate them when I went to friends' flats for dinner, or in one of the numerous Pelmeni Bars. Traditionally they are frozen before you eat them as this changes the consistency. Serve them with either melted butter or sour cream.
