Open Meat Pie
4 servings
60 minutes
Open meat pie is a symbol of home comfort and the taste of Russian cuisine. The combination of tender potato dough with juicy meat filling, complemented by aromatic vegetables and creamy sauce, makes this dish incredibly appetizing. Its history roots in the traditions of Russian baking, where open pies were often made for family meals. This pie has a rich flavor — the crispy dough base harmonizes with the meat filling, while melted cheese completes the composition, creating the perfect texture. The dish is ideal for both festive tables and cozy family dinners. Serve with herbs or sour cream to highlight its rich taste.
