Pumpkin Dumplings with Pine Nuts

Prepare all ingredients.

Sift the flour into a bowl, add salt and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Slowly pour boiling water while mixing the dough with a spatula.

Knead the dough until it reaches an elastic consistency — it should not stick to your hands. Add more flour if necessary. Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1–1.5 hours.

For the filling, finely chop one onion and fry it in vegetable oil until soft.

Add diced pumpkin and cook for about 15 minutes until soft. Add green peas and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Blend the mixture into a puree using a blender.

Add pine nuts, nutmeg, and salt to taste to the filling. Mix well.

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet on a flour-dusted surface.

Cut out dough circles with a glass. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each and seal the dumplings.

Boil the dumplings in salted boiling water. After they float, cook for another 5 minutes.

For the sauce, clean the pepper from seeds and partitions. Chop the tomatoes and pepper into cubes.

Finely chop the remaining onion, press the garlic through a press. Fry the onion and garlic until golden brown.

Add tomatoes and pepper, salt and cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve dumplings with vegetable sauce, drizzled with pumpkin oil.
