Topic: Persian Beef Pirashki

[Garp]

Something new for me - basically a meat & onion pasty with spice - but pretty decent.


First ones I made were a bit on the large side - Ginsters sized.:




So made some snack-sized ones:




All in all, an interesting mess about

'Pirashki' sounds very much like Polish/Russian 'pierogi' to me; is there a connection, do you know ?  (They don't look like pierogi, but there are nonetheless some similarities ...

I was just messing around on you tube, Phil. The filling was Persian apparently, but I used a pastry recipe from a Russian contributor.

From what I've gathered, the original peroshki was a Russian dish but with cabbage.- different from pierogi.

Move over Greggs!! Seriously , they look brilliant, perfect for lunch or an after pub spice fix.

Back in early 97 I moved from Moscow to a construction site in Siberia. We had not been running long when the local Babushkas started hanging round the gates selling various versions of the Peroshki. Theirs was more like a stuffed dumpling than a pasty but they were damn good when hot, fresh and it was minus 40 outside.
