Kreplach

Kreplach are traditional Jewish dumplings that originated in Eastern Europe as krepish, fried pastries stuffed with meat. Over the years, the dish changed, and the dish became known as krepl (plural: kreplach) in the Yiddish community. The dumplings are filled with various ingredients such as chicken, ground beef and herbs, leftover roasted meat, or cheese. The dough for the dumplings is usually made with flour and eggs. The meat-filled kreplach are traditionally served with soup broth in a bowl, but they can also be fried and served on their own. The cheese variety is especially popular during Purim, a Jewish holiday, and it's topped with sour cream before serving.
