Sorrel pie is a traditional Russian dish that combines the light sourness of fresh sorrel with the softness of puff pastry. This pie was popular in villages where sorrel was one of the first spring vegetables. Its taste is an exquisite balance of sweetness and sourness, while the texture is tender, airy, and crispy. Sugar softens the natural acidity of sorrel, and starch gives the filling uniformity. This pie is perfect for morning tea or as a light dessert after a main course. It can be served warm with a spoonful of sour cream or honey to highlight the natural freshness and richness of flavors. Due to its simplicity in preparation and availability of ingredients, sorrel pie remains a beloved treat in Russian cuisine.
