Balish with Rice

An unusual and really tasty Tatar pie! Balish is a covered pie that I loved from the very first bite. The flavor is so unusual and rich — never bland. A lot comes down to the filling, which can be sweet or savory. Today let's bake a balish with rice, raisins, and dried apricots)

    1. Rinse the rice in cold water 4-5 times until the water runs clear. Then put the rice in a pot, cover with boiling water, add salt, and boil until fully cooked. Drain the cooked rice in a colander (or sieve), rinse it under running water (this keeps the grains separate), and leave for 10 minutes so all the liquid drains off.
  • Pick the stems off the raisins, wash them, and cover them along with the dried apricots in hot water; leave to plump for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the butter into a couple of pieces, put it in a pot, and melt it slightly over the heat. Add the rice and dried fruit to the butter and mix thoroughly.
    1. Knead the dough and divide it into three equal parts; join two of them and roll into one thin sheet, then fit it into a baking dish greased with vegetable oil. Spread the filling over the dough in an even layer. Roll out the remaining dough and cover the pie with it, pinching the edges shut. If you have dough scraps left, use them to make decorations like little twigs for the top.
  • Put the balish in an oven preheated to 340°F (170°C). Bake for one hour.
  • This delicious dish is ready to serve.
  • Enjoy!
