Lena's Chebureki Recipe

Step 1

Mix ground pork and ground beef together using Kitchen Aid with paddle attachment or by hand.

Step 2

Stir in the cilantro, parsley and green onion. Add salt, ground pepper and milk.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add enough canola to cover bottom of pan. Use two skillets to speed up the process.

Step 4

Place a heaping tablespoon over 1/2 of the tortilla. Spread the meat over 1/2 of the tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border.

Step 5

Brush water on the entire border of the tortilla; enough so you can see that it's wet, otherwise it won't seal.

Step 6

Press the sides together and seal with a fork. Flip the tortilla over and seal the other side with the fork as well to make sure they don't open while frying.

Step 7

Saute 3 minutes on each side over medium heat. You may need to adjust your heat settings (not all ranges are created equal), but they do need about 3 minutes per side to cook through. Place them between paper towels when done.

Step 8

They can get a little juicy inside so be careful that you don't get a lap-full of juice when taking a bite.
