Chebureks are crispy without effort

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients. There is no need to melt the margarine in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour flour into a deep bowl, add salt, mix. Pour in water and quickly combine the contents with a fork until lumps of dough form.

3. STEP 3

   

   Bring margarine to a boil. Then pour into the dough in a thin stream and mix well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sprinkle the dough with a little more flour, form it into a ball, put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours (at least an hour). !!Thanks to this, the dough will become more elastic and light, and will not stick to your hands.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion, chop finely, combine with minced meat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the greens, dry and finely chop.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add greens to the minced meat, salt and pepper, mix well

8. STEP 8

   

   Also add a little more than half a glass of water to the minced meat - approx. 120 ml. Cover the bowl with the minced meat with a plate and also put it in the refrigerator until the dough arrives.!! Adding water to the minced meat makes it juicier and also speeds up the cooking process, so you don’t have to worry too much if your cheburek fries too quickly)) ( but only on condition that the cheburek is not frozen! Frozen chebureks need more time to cook)

9. STEP 9

   

   After 2 hours, remove the minced meat and dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough into a sausage shape and divide into 16 pieces. Form them into balls.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll out each ball into a thin flat cake - approx. 12-13 cm in diameter.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the filling on half of each tortilla, distributing it evenly over this half.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover the minced meat with the other half and seal the edges well so that the juice does not leak out. IMPORTANT: At this stage, before the edges completely stick together, you need to expel the air from the cheburek to avoid it breaking during the frying process, because the chebureks will swell slightly during frying.!! Also at this stage, the main thing is not to be afraid to use flour - this will avoid tearing the dough when making pasties, and also preventing it from bursting during frying))

13. STEP 13

    

    Also, the edges of the cheburek can be connected in this way. Which is even better, because compared to the previous method, the edge of the cheburek after frying is not so dry! Yes, and it looks more interesting))

14. STEP 14

    

    Some of the pasties can be put on a tray sprinkled with flour and frozen (well, this is in case the family is not large)), otherwise you don’t even have to try freezing, because... pasties are swept away in an instant!! And even if a couple remain until the next day, even if they lie ready all night on the table, they will remain just as soft and juicy!! - All you have to do is warm it up a little))

15. STEP 15

    

    Fry the chebureks in a large amount of hot vegetable oil on both sides, over a little less than medium heat, until golden.

16. STEP 16

    

    Carefully remove the finished pasties from the frying pan and in order to remove excess fat from them, you can put them briefly on a plate with paper towels.

17. STEP 17

    

    Cool the finished pasties a little and you can start eating!) Mmmm.. Yum-yum.. Bon appetit!

In the heat of the moment, the chebureki scattered with a bang, so it was not possible to check how they would behave the next day. The dough, pleasant to work with, was easy to roll out thinly, without tears. Thank you very much for the recipe, Aliska! Enjoyed it to the fullest))

Homemade chebureks cannot be compared with either restaurant ones or any other store-bought ones. I’ve been thinking about making chebureks at home for a long time, I think I’ll soon use your recipe

Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe! My whole rather large family devoured it in one sitting for my sweet soul... and asked for more. So I'll cook some more. The site is excellent, I really like that everyone here is very friendly, in some ways it even reminds me of a family... I sit here every day, I even learned to cook, but I’m still very, very far from our hostesses...
