‘Don’ zrazy is a dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish with the spiciness of the filling. Its origin is linked to the traditions of Don Cossacks, known for their ability to prepare hearty and tasty dishes. The recipe's base is pike perch fillet enriched with a fragrant filling of fried onions, eggs, and white bread seasoned with herbs. Zrazy are fried in a crispy crust of breadcrumbs, giving them an appetizing texture. The taste of the dish is a harmony of fish softness and filling juiciness with a light milky note. It is perfect for both festive tables and cozy family dinners. Served hot, it pairs wonderfully with vegetable side dishes or sour cream sauce.
