Today's issue is dedicated to the lean menu. We suggest you cook delicious pasties with potatoes and mushrooms. Taking this dough recipe as a basis, lean pasties can be prepared with different fillings: with cabbage, beans, herbs ...
If you want your pasties to be airy, bubbly and crunchy, rather than stretching (at least hot), there are three rules you need to adhere to.
1. The dough for the blanks must be rolled out very, very thin. The limit is when it begins to shine through in places (then there is a risk that the cheburek will burst during frying, the filling will lose juice, and the oil will deteriorate from this).
2. Do not be stingy with oil. The pies should not lie on the bottom of the cauldron or frying pan, but should float freely.
3. The oil should be well heated, but not burn.
For the test:
For filling:
Boil the mushrooms in salted water for 5 minutes. Fry the onion in oil and add the chopped mushrooms to it. Fry the dressing with the mushrooms a little more so that the mushrooms do not have time to dry out.
Knead hard dough. To do this, first add ¾ flour.
Then, adding the remaining flour, knead the dough intensively with your hands.
Divide it into 6 pieces and roll out thin cakes. Instead of flour, so that the dough does not stick to the table and to the rolling pin, use vegetable oil (because flour stuck to the workpieces will remain in the oil during frying and from this it will quickly darken and begin to taste bitter).
Put the filling on one half of the circle (in the center), tightly blind the edges of the cake, cut off the excess dough, and then make a "pigtail" on the edge.
Now the fun part begins. As mentioned above, there should be a lot of oil for frying and it needs to be heated enough. Check the temperature by throwing a small piece of dough into the butter - if the liquid boils violently around it, you can lower a batch of blanks.
In order for the surface of the pasties to be covered with appetizing bubbles, they need to be poured on top with boiling oil from a cauldron.
From this, they first swell and then bubble.
Remove the finished patties fried on both sides on a paper towel, and then transfer to a dish.
