Pirashki (Meat Pies) Recipe


Submitted by yellowruby

Makes 8 servings


The servings shown here are for four meat pies, which would usually be one lunch. Most things can change (i.e. less parsley or ground beef), but this is what we usually make it with.

Ingredients
1 lb lean ground lamb
1 onion
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp yeast
3/4 cup water
2 cups flour, whole wheat
2 cups flour, unbleached
1 egg
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1 potato, mashed
Directions
  1. Mix in yeast and warm water.

  2. Once mixed, pour in 1/2 the flour, the egg, sugar, salt, butter, and potato. After mixing, pour in the rest of the flour. Once thoroughly mixed, knead the dough for five minutes before putting it in a bowl with a tbsp of olive oil at the bottom. Turn over dough, and allow it to sit in fridge for 6-8 hours.

  3. At the end of its rising, mix the ground lamb, onion, tomato paste, and parsley. With a thin coat of olive oil at the bottom of a pan, stir-fry the concoction until the meat is cooked.

  4. Cut cicles into dough with the top of a cup.

  5. Take meat and put a small amount of it in the center of the dough; fold it over, press the sides down, and push down again with a fork.

  6. Cook at 400 degrees fahrenheit in the oven.
