20 pies

Ingredients:
For filling:
1 lamb liver (about 400 g)
2 lamb lungs (about 500 g)
1 lamb heart (about 250 g)
70 g butter
4 medium onions
8-9 black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
vegetable oil, for frying
4 tablespoons dried celery root
1/2 cup milk

330 ml milk
2 eggs
5 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
15 g fresh live yeast
450-600 g of wheat flour, (depending on the flour, it may take more)

Preparation:

1. Rinse offal thoroughly. Put the whole heart in a saucepan. Add the peeled onion, 3 black peppercorns, 2 tbsp. dried celery roots. Pour in cold water, bring to a boil and cook for about 2 hours until soft (the heart should be easily pierced with a knife). Close to the end of cooking, add 1 bay leaf.

Add the broth left over from cooking the heart to the resulting minced meat - it should turn out to be neither liquid nor dry. Taste the filling and add salt if necessary.

5. Prepare the dough: dilute the yeast in a little warm milk. Separate the whites of the eggs from the yolks, then beat 2 whites and the yolk with granulated sugar, add diluted yeast, vegetable oil, salt and the remaining warm milk. Sift the flour and, gradually adding it to the rest of the ingredients, knead the dough of such a consistency that it lags behind the walls. Cover with a towel and put in a warm place to rise, about 1 hour, excluding drafts. Then knead the dough and put it up a second time.

6. Knead the dough and form pies from it, adding a small piece of butter together with the filling. Dissolve the remaining yolk in 2 tablespoons. boiled water and grease the surface with it.

7. Let the pies distance for 10-15 minutes, then put in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pies from the oven, grease with butter, cover with a towel or napkin, let stand for another 15 minutes and only then transfer from the baking sheet.

Lamb is one of the most popular types of meat. Many dishes are prepared from this product, including the famous soups based on lamb broth: shurpa, kharcho and so on, not many products can boast of such a rich taste. The meat has excellent taste and is a very useful product. Unfortunately, not all housewives know how to cook lamb correctly and how much to get a juicy delicious dish. But, in addition to the meat itself, properly cooked offal, such as a lamb heart and lung, will be very healthy and tasty.

Meat

Lamb meat is healthy and nutritious, due to its composition and content of nutrients and microelements, it is used as dishes for a special diet for certain diseases.

Before boiling lamb, it should be properly prepared. To do this, you must first soak the meat in water for 1.5-2 hours. Soaking will better remove product contaminants and harmful substances. After the lamb is soaked, it should be freed from fatty deposits and tendons.

A specific type of meat should be chosen for each purpose. For example, if lamb is needed for broth and you plan to cook the first course, then you should choose a product on the bone. For such purposes, the ribs or the renal part of the spine, as well as the tubular marrow bones, which must first be chopped up, are perfect. Such meat should be cooked from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the age of the ram. It is important to cook the lamb over low heat. The meat for the broth should be immersed in cold water, after waiting for a boil, you should not miss the moment and remove all the foam that will form. During the cooking process, you need to check the readiness of the meat by piercing it with a knife so as not to overcook the product, otherwise it will turn out tough.

If you need to cook the tenderloin, then the cooking process should be organized differently. The meat should be cut into small pieces and dipped in boiling water. This will make the pieces more juicy and will not add any benefit or flavor to the broth. You need a little water, so that it hides the product by a centimeter. Cook over low heat, excluding active boiling. The meat will be cooked from 1 to 2 hours, also depending on the age of the ram. As in the first case, it is necessary to descale in time.

Lung

Lamb lung is a dietary by-product equal in protein content to animal meat. Having cooked a lung, you can cook many tasty and healthy dishes. It can be cut into salads or consumed as a stand-alone dish.

Advice! Due to its spongy structure, the offal perfectly absorbs liquid. Therefore, adding it to a salad with ingredients prone to fluid release, you can avoid unnecessary wateriness in the dish.

Before boiling the offal, it must be prepared, first you need to soak the lung. Experienced housewives advise to first put the offal in a container, press down with a press and only after that fill it with water, so the lung will not be able to float and will give all the bad substances into the water.

The lung should be cooked for 1.5-2 hours in two stages. At the first, you need to fill the lung with water, and after waiting for a boil, boil for 5-10 minutes, after which the water should be replaced. The next portion of liquid can already be salted and seasoned to taste. During the cooking process, active foaming occurs, so you need to monitor the process and periodically remove the foam. Also in the pan, you can press down the pieces of the product with a lid of a smaller diameter, this will not allow the easy to float and facilitate the cooking process.

Heart

Lamb heart is another offal that is actively eaten not only by gourmets. Typically, it is boiled, then cut into pieces and fried - this is the easiest and most common way to prepare the product. Unlike lamb, the offal does not contain fat, but at the same time it is not inferior to it in terms of the amount of nutrients and vitamins.

Advice! To rid the lamb heart of a specific smell, it can be soaked in water acidified with vinegar before boiling.

Before starting to cook, the lamb heart should be cut open and thoroughly rinsed to remove blood residues. Place in a saucepan and fill with cold water. After boiling, remove the foam, reduce heat and cook for 1.5 hours. You can check the readiness of the product by piercing it with a sharp object, if this happens unhindered, then the dish is ready.

After the offal is cooked, it can be served by cutting it into pieces and offering a side dish or sauce to it. You can also continue cooking. A delicious goulash is made from the heart, roast, or you can simply fry the product with onions and spices. In addition, there are many salads that include a heart. An inventive hostess will always be able to independently come up with a dish using such a tasty and healthy offal.

Lamb allows you to prepare many culinary masterpieces, these are not only soups, but also various full-fledged meat dishes. Following the cooking tips, any housewife will be able to cook the meat properly and surprise the household.
