The filling made from salted mushrooms is a true embodiment of traditional Russian cuisine, rich in the flavors of forest gifts.

This dish originates from rural households where mushrooms have always been one of the main products. The filling has a rich, slightly spicy taste with a characteristic mushroom note. It is perfect for pies, rasstegais, and kulebyakas, adding juiciness and the aroma of the forest to them. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for beginner cooks, while its versatility allows it to be paired with various types of dough, turning ordinary baked goods into a real treat.
