When to eat it. Made with oil. Keep it for days when wine and oil are allowed, like weekends in Lent and most of the Nativity Fast.
Ingredients
Method
- Knead the dough, cover and rest 30 minutes.
- Fry the onions and mushrooms in the oil until all the liquid is gone. Season and cool.
- Roll the dough thin, cut 5 cm (2 inch) circles, fill, fold into half-moons and pinch the ends together.
- Boil in salted water for 5 minutes after they float.
Tip. Make a big batch and freeze them on a tray.
Fasting customs differ between churches and parishes. When in doubt, follow what your priest gives you. Not sure what today allows? Check the Orthodox calendar.
