Rustic Estonian Simmered Lamb Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, chili, cumin, carrot, parsley, yogurt, black pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lamb and cook until simmered.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Estonian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Estonian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
