Khuushuur (Mongolian: хуушууp [xʊ́ːʃʊr]) is a kind of meat pastry or dumpling popular in Mongolia similar to Russian and other cuisines’ chiburekki. The meat either beef or mutton is ground up and mixed with onion (or garlic) salt and other spices. The cook rolls the dough into circles then places the meat inside the dough and folds the dough in half creating a flat half-circular pocket. The cook then closes the pockets by pressing the edges together.
