Pie with zucchini and sorrel
4 servings
30 minutes
Zucchini and sorrel pie is a wonderful combination of freshness and tenderness characteristic of Russian cuisine. This pie evokes traditional village dishes where greens and vegetables always played an important role. Zucchini adds juiciness to the filling, while sorrel provides a light sourness balanced by the softness of feta cheese. The crispy puff pastry creates a contrast of textures, making each bite delightful. This pie is perfect for summer lunches or cozy family evenings; it can be served as a standalone dish or alongside a light salad. It is good both hot and cold, and the added sesame gives a nutty flavor nuance. This pie is a true tribute to seasonal products, highlighting the richness of Russian culinary traditions.
