Every day we prepare some food for us, some of them we repeat after few days or weeks, for different reasons, sometimes we just love some food and want them again. The other food we prepare because of other reasons, like in our case, I will start my long shifts at hospital and I wanted to take some food that is easy to watm up in microwave and it is dumplings, because usually when I prepare them there are large amount of them and we always have some rest over for next day or two.

I prepare dough very simply, just using flour, one egg and a bit of water and salt. That is all you need and usually very quick preparation.

At the end you have such bowl and a good elastic dough.

Now it is time for preparing the filing. I use minced meat and mix it with one good size of pumpkin, usually about 1kg of weight and in this case I took two medium size onions.

The pumpkin is cut into cubes and for onion I use chopper that is electric one and makes onion cut in very small pieces in seconds.
The it is time to mix meat, pumpkin and onions in a bowl I then add a bit of salt, black pepper and some vegetable oil so that it is easy to mix.
Now time for creating this beautiful pockets of dough filled with filling, while closing I leave small pieces so that whole cooking they have good exposure for steam.

This is how the final result is looking like, hot and delicious.

Buen apetito...!
