Zucchini pie with meat and mushrooms

6 servings

60 minutes

Zucchini pie with meat and mushrooms is an exquisite combination of tenderness and rich flavor. It represents a harmony of Russian cuisine, combining the freshness of vegetables, the nourishment of meat, and the aroma of mushrooms. Zucchini creates a soft base soaked in a delicate yogurt-egg sauce that adds airiness to the dish. Mushrooms, lightly fried before baking, reveal their richness and complement the juiciness of the meat layer. Spices and herbs give the pie sophistication, making it perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering. This pie is good both hot and chilled, and its simplicity in preparation makes it accessible even for novice cooks.
