Pelmeni with Chanterelles and Salicornia

Store-bought pelmeni from the Russian market make a fast phone-in dinner, but serving them en brodo with wild things makes it special.

Beef pelmeni in a reduction of beef/rabbit/duck stock (deglazed the pan first with my homemade Doug-fir eau de vie), with Misty Mountain chanterelles and Salicornia, and fresh dill. Served with Baltic rye, pickled tomato salad, and Ahmad Jamal Trio’s rendition of Volga Boatmen. Serving pelmeni in broth is the Tatar style (I have a bunch of Tatar and Finno-Ugric DNA), and Russians love wild mushrooms, so this felt right in my bones. ? ? ? ? ? ? The Salicornia (seabeans) and wild mushrooms are available through Nicky USA — Misty Mountain will be reppin’ at Wild About Game in two weeks! Pelmeni were bought from the frozen case at Good Neighbor ? #meatconcierge #russianfood #pelmeni #dumplings #tatar #volga #mushrooms #wildmushrooms #chanterelles #salicornia #foraging #wildfood #wildaboutgame #пелмени #грибы #food #foodgawker #foodstagram #instayum #instafood #food52 #bareaders #huffposttaste #upperleftusa @nicky.usa
