Kreplach
Traditional Foods:
Kreplach are small squares of rolled pasta dough filled with ground beef or chicken and folded into triangles. They can be boiled and served in soup or fried and served as a side dish. They are traditionally served at the pre-Yom Kippur meal, on the seventh day of Sukkot(Hoshanah Rabbah), and on Purim.
DOUGH:
1 ¾ flour
2 eggs
½ tsp. Salt
3 Tbsp. Oil
FILLING
1 cup ground cooked beef or chicken
1 small onion, grated
1 tsp. salt
DOUGH: in a large bowl combine dough ingredients together. Knead and roll out thin on floured board. Cut into 3-inch squares or circles.
FILLING: in a small bowl mix filling ingredients well. Put about 1 tsp. in the middle of the dough. Fold squares to opposite corners to make triangles. Fold up each 1/3 of the edges of a circle to form triangular packets. Pinch together to seal. Kreplach can now be either boiled and served in soup or sauteed in oil.
TO BOIL: Place in boiling salted water. Cook approximately 20 minutes until kreplach float to top.
TO SAUTE: Heat oil over medium flame in 10-inch skillet. Saute boiled kreplach until golden brown on both sides.
NOTE: Dough will roll out more easily after being wrapped in a damp cloth for one hour.
