Pelmeni Shawarma Burger

Preparing the Pelmeni Filling In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Making the Pelmeni Dough In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, eggs, and water. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Forming the Pelmeni Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.

Filling and Sealing the Pelmeni Place a small amount of the pelmeni filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat this process until all the dough and filling are used.

Cooking the Pelmeni To cook the pelmeni, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pelmeni and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove the cooked pelmeni from the water using a slotted spoon.

Preparing the Shawarma Filling In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced chicken thighs and cook until browned and cooked through.

Seasoning the Shawarma Filling Add the ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spices. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Making the Burger Sauce In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined to make the burger sauce.

Assembling the Pelmeni Shawarma Burger To assemble the burger, place a cooked pelmeni on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top it with a slice of cheese, some shawarma filling, lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, and pickles.
