These are Tukhum Barak, unusual egg dumplings from the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n<p>About 3\u00bd inches square, they are unique in that during construction the filling is added while still a liquid. Picture a rectangle of dough folded in half, pinched tightly on both sides leaving a gap at the top into which the filling, made primarily from eggs, milk, and flour, is poured and then carefully sealed. They can then be boiled or pan-fried.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the dough was surprisingly rich, more so than a typical raviolo. The slightly salty filling was barely eggy, sharing the spotlight with the milk and flour, with a subtle touch of sweetness.<\/p>\n<p>Want to try them? Of course you do! So join me on my Little Odessa ethnojunket. (Hint: there\u2019s one coming up on September 1!)
