Author Topic: Persian Beef Pirashki  (read 8,427 times)

AI Summary
The discussion revolves around the creation of Persian Beef Pirashki, which are described as meat and onion pasties with spices. The original poster experimented with different sizes, making both large and snack-sized versions, and noted the use of a pastry recipe from a Russian contributor. The community engaged in a conversation about the similarities between Pirashki and other Eastern European dishes like pierogi and peroshki, with one user sharing personal experiences related to peroshki in Siberia. A request for the recipe led to links being provided for both the filling and pastry.

Persian Beef Pirashki

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.:
Persian Beef Pirashki
Persian Beef Pirashki


So made some snack-sized ones:
Persian Beef Pirashki
Persian Beef Pirashki


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.

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.
