Sounds like Piroshki (Meat-Filled Pastries)


Dough

1 c All-purpose Flour; Sifted
1/8 ts Salt

8 tb Butter
3 tb Sour Cream

Filling

2 tb Butter
3 tb Onion; Finely Chopped
1/4 lb Ground Beef
1 Egg; Hard-boiled and Chopped
1 tb Fresh Dill; Minced
1/4 ts Salt
1 pn Black Pepper; Freshly Ground
1 Raw Egg

The meat pie or meat-filled pastry can be found in nearly every country in the world as a main course!. Although the names and seasonings shift with the region, the recipes stay the same!.

Todays recipe from The Cook & Kitchen Staff at Recipe-a-Day!.com is the Russian version of a meat filled pastry!. This holiday specialty from Russia will make a great addition to your recipe collection!

To prepare the pastry dough, combine flour and salt and sift into a mixing bowl!. Using two knives, cut butter into flour to the size of peas!. Add sour cream and mix with a fork to form a ball of dough!. Wrap dough in waxed paper and refrigerate to chill for 1-hour!.

To prepare the meat filling, sauté onion in butter, then add the ground beef and crumble into small pieces!. Cook until browned!. Add remaining ingredients, less the raw egg!. Mix well, then cool!.

Divide dough in half and roll each portion into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle, slightly less than 1/8-inch thick!. Cut each rectangle of dough into twelve, 3-inch squares!. Place a rounded teaspoon full of the meat filling into the center of each dough square and fold over, to form triangles!. Moisten the edges of the pastry dough with water before pinching together to seal the meat filling inside!. Refrigerate for 30-minutes before baking!.

Pre-heat oven to 375-F degrees!. Set Piroshki on a cookie sheet, and brush with lightly beaten raw egg mixed with 1 tsp!. water!. Bake for 20-minutes or until golden brown!. Serve warmWww@FoodAQ@Com

There are so many variations on Russian meat pies (Pierogi or Piroshki)!. A lot depends on just what foods are available in your area!.

But the bottom line is that you must have the right pastry and bake it properly!. I am including a tutorial about making the pastry and using vegetables in it!. Adding ground meat is a luxury, but the pumpkin makes sense as it adds bulk and flavor!.

You would need to steam the pumpkin to soften the shell, then carve the meat out with a large spoon, then cook it down to mix in with the meat!.
