Everything depends on the filler and the sauce with which you serve. Today we have prepared an interesting selection of recipes from meat with the addition of various products.

We lay out on each circle a small amount of minced meat, tightly fasten so that the filling does not fall out during the cooking process.

It remains to boil vareniki with meat in water about 5-7 minutes after boiling. When serving a dish on the table, be sure to put a piece of butter. Usually the product is dipped in sour cream or cream sauce. Homemade treats can be made with any products, depending on taste preferences.
