Russian Piroshki, a recipe made from sour cream dough and filled with minced meat. A delicious snack from Russia where it's street food.
What's piroshki?
It is finger food, a snack which is filled with meat, mushrooms, rice, eggs, cheese or jam. Actually quite a variety on ingredients and is sold as a snack on the streets of Russia.
Honestly? I had never heard of it and that's exactly what is so nice about the Daring Kitchen, cooking food in a traditional way or getting acquainted with traditional dishes that are still unknown to me. I rolled up my sleeves and went to work.
For the dough, I chose the fast sour cream dough and beef as a filling. The result is a slightly sweet roll with a savory filling. Very nice, I can imagine why the Russians are so fond of it.
This recipe was brought to me via the Daring Kitchen and has been created by Sara of the blog Sassy Suppers. She studied Russian and of the Russian dishes she made at that time, Piroshki was her favorite.
