Recipe Introduction
This is the lesser known version of the Latvian Classic Piragi. When my sister gives me the traditional piragi recipe i will post that too
List of Ingredients
- piragi dough (or a good bread dough preferably with butter and milk in it)
- butter
- 1/2 cabbage
- 3 hardboiled eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make up the bread dough and leave to prove.
- Shred cabbage into thin slices. Heat butter gently and saute cabbage (quite a lot of butter needed). Keep covered on a low heat stirring frquently for about 10 minutes until wilted but not mushy.
- Chop up hardboiled eggs and mix through cabbage with salt and pepper.
- Let cabbage mix cool.
- Roll out dough quite thin. Spoon cabbage in the middle and enclose making large pasty shape.
- Alternatively cover the bottom of a square tin or lasagne tray with a layer of dough. Spoon cabbage over the top and finish with another layer of dough.
- Bake in 180C oven for about 20-40 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Cut into slices or squares and serve warm with soup or cold as part of buffet.
