Dumplings is everyone’s favourite food. It is a perfect warm starter or a snack during winter. Actually, it can enjoyed in any season. In India, its known as momo and is served with red chilli sauce.
My rose shaped dumplings is a perfect dish for a festive season. Its stuffing has ingredients which are typical ingredients of a Christmas meal such as turkey mince, chestnuts, red cabbage etc. I am serving these special dumplings with a Canarian red mojo sauce. They can be made before hand and can just be steamed when ready to serve.
Note: Turkey meat becomes very dry hence its essential to add mushrooms and onions to add some moisture.
