When you’re tired of tortellini and good on gyoza, don’t lose hope — head to Trader Joe’s. Tucked in the freezer case is a different kind of dumpling, one with savory chicken and mushrooms stuffed in a thick, doughy pouch. This is a skillet dinner you won’t want to miss.
What Are Pelmeni?
In Russia, filled pockets of dough are called pelmeni. These savory dumplings are often filled with beef or pork, but Trader Joe’s carries a chicken and mushroom variety in their freezer section.
Pelmeni are often served with sour cream, but the nutty Parmesan flavor of Alfredo sauce pairs well with the chicken and sautéed vegetable flavors in this skillet dinner.
