One serving has 674 kcal and 23 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of riboflavin (85%), selenium (84%), thiamin (81%), phosphorus (54%), niacin (54%) and pyridoxine (51%). Ready in 90 minutes.
- Preparation: 50 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (329 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 85 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Egg
- 30 g Water, lukewarm
- 0.5 g Salt
- 100 g Potatoes, floury
- 40 g Bryndza (soft sheep's cheese), or feta
- 25 g Smoked streaky bacon
- 30 g Sour cream
- 3 g Chives
Method
- Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes until tender. Peel them while hot, press them through a potato ricer and leave them to cool.
- Mix the flour and salt, add the egg and the lukewarm water and knead for 5-8 minutes into a soft, smooth dough. Cover it and leave it to rest for 20 minutes.
- Mash the cooled potato with the bryndza until smooth; this is the filling.
- Roll the dough out thinly, about 2 mm, and cut out rounds about 8 cm across. Put a heaped teaspoon of filling on each, fold it into a half-moon and press the edges firmly together, pushing out any air; a fork pressed along the edge seals them well.
- Cook the pirohy in batches in a large pot of gently boiling water for 4-5 minutes after they rise to the surface, then lift them out with a slotted spoon.
- Meanwhile dice the bacon and fry it for 6-8 minutes until crisp and the fat has run.
- Pour the bacon and its fat over the hot pirohy, top them with sour cream and scatter with chopped chives.
