Pies with meat

- Cooking time: 2 hours 15 minutes
- Number of servings: 10
Preparing the filling
Rinse the meat thoroughly, remove veins and hymen. Cut into small pieces, dry and place in a hot frying pan. Fry until golden brown and add finely chopped onion. Cooking time is approximately 12-15 minutes. It is very important not to dry out the meat; it is better to leave it undercooked. It will finish in the oven.
Cool and grind it in a meat grinder, combine with finely chopped boiled eggs. The mixture should be homogeneous. Pepper, salt and add spices if desired. There is an option when a little broth is added to the minced meat for juiciness. Boil it with the addition of bay leaf, carrots and a small onion. The liquid should be rich and aromatic, but not too greasy. Chicken is great for broth.
Dough for delicious pies
According to Russian traditions, the dough for noble pie was prepared with yeast. At the same time, it was insipid, that is, without butter, milk, sugar. Modern cooks do not give up these ingredients, and the pies turn out softer and fluffier. Let's consider one of the most popular and delicious meats. It is not difficult to prepare, but it is important to strictly follow the technological process. Only then will you be able to cook a real masterpiece in your kitchen. For the pie dough you will need:

- Refined sunflower oil or melted butter - 2 tbsp. l.;

Innings

, although they are also tasty when cold, the warm filling is still tastier. You shouldn’t eat them hot either; hot dough is difficult for our digestive system to accept.
Pies are served with various kinds of soups and broths
. The tender dough melts in your mouth, the filling is amazing with its richness of taste, and hot soup or broth only adds and enriches the taste.
- The hole should not be left large
so that the filling remains juicy. - After the dough is coated with yolk, it is advisable to leave the pie to dry, then it will turn out even more beautiful and rosy.
- It is better not to open the oven
during baking , otherwise the dough may not rise and will be knocked down.

What kind of dish is this?
There is an opinion: the pie changed due to the fact that it began to be served in restaurants and on royal tables. That is, from a large, whole one, it turned into a portioned pie with a hole on the top. It has its unique name because of the so-called seam - “unstitch”, which stretches the pie and secures its edges. The secret of cooking is to make this very hole correctly. After all, the filling should be visible, impart its aroma, but not fall out of the dough.

You can, of course, make your task easier and prepare pie with minced meat, which you will purchase ready-made. Make sure it is sufficiently fatty and fresh.
