Cepelinai - The biggest dumpling you’ve never had | Цеппелины

With the Baltics being one of my favorite regions on Earth, I thought I would pay homage to Lithuania’s shockingly large meat and potato dumpling - Cepelinai. An exceptionally dense and filling dish that no sane person would ever eat more than 2 of in a single sitting, Cepelinai are one of Europe's most curious and undiscovered delights. Plus, any food you can cook while drinking amazing beer is already worth making, right?

Come with an appetite, and a potato peeler, because this dumpling is the real deal.
