I absolutely love pelmeni, but I would go for shuba.

 

  I love shuba, but the kids won't even look at it, so it's basically a Christmas/New Years thing. We did have it for independence day last year. My wife is big into the July 4th BBQ now, as long as we have some Russian dishes.

 

  Pelemeni is the opposite problem. There have been times the kids finished it off before I even knew it was there. Not this time, though!

We have pelmeni often.  I cover it with spaghetti sauce and tell my wife it's Russian ravioli.

 

Forgot about shuba,  Just asked my wife about it, and she said "it's WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE".  Then I remembered.  Yuck.

  My wife get's mad when I put ketchup on it. It's kind of a catch-22, because I usually only put ketchup on to make her mad.

Ketchup?  Gross.  NEVER on pasta!!

 

So what's the normal sauce?  The one pic I saw looked like a creamy white sauce?  Maybe similar to Alfredo?

Yes, absolutely NEVER substitute ketchup for a good spaghetti sauce. 

When my wife makes pelmeni she just covers it with butter and a little bit of spice.

 

I think some use the broth from boiling the pelmeni.

Man, I'd love to try that.  What goes into the filling?

Pelmeni is meat ravioli, or at least that is my take on it.

 

We always have some in the freezer if you want to try some.  I think we currently have veal pelmeni.

Does your wife make, it, or are you able to buy it locally?

 

Of course I'd love to.  After I recover from the CV, of course...

Her mother made some when she was visiting last year, but that is long gone.  There is a very good (Eastern) European market close by that always has it frozen.  Seems like we visit there almost weekly for a number of items.

 

Should add that some of the best European markets are over near you.

We have been to Europa Gourmet and World Market & Cafe. Both are on S. Federal Hwy in Hollywood.  1300 and 1400 blocks.

 It's salt, pepper, and butter. Lots of butter.

Nice.  Similar to a Polish I love, Pierogies.  Only my family makes them with flat, round noodles with cottage cheese & boiled potatoes, covered with butter, salt, and lots of black pepper.  Delicioso!  (Typical Pieirogies have filling, I know.)

  Pelmeni is very similar to Polish pierogies. I used to call them pierogie at first, but Russians use the names pirog and pirozhki for other dishes so it got confusing.

We have a Russian grocery store not too far from us, so we get pelmeni quite often as well.  I like it with butter, but my wife doesn’t like how I cook it.  I will take frozen pelmeni and fry it with a little olive oil and some about half of a spice packet from the Russian grocery.  I guess shuba is an acquired taste, but I do like beet root and herring, so I like it.
