Kreplach

By: Rebecca 
"Kreplach are often made for the Purim feast. They are dumplings filled with meat, onions, and spices. They can be served in chicken soup (similar to won ton soup) or fried and served as a side dish. This recipe is for ground beef kreplach but you could also use chicken or other vegetables to make a vegetarian version. If you prefer, you may leave the cinnamon and walnuts out of this recipe."

Original Recipe Yield 45 dumplings
 

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 4 onions, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/8 cup crushed walnuts
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and add beef, onions, salt and pepper to taste, cinnamon, and nuts; cook until beef is no longer pink. Remove from heat and let cool.
