Balish with Lamb

A Tatar dish — balish! It's never been this delicious! I first tasted this wonderful pastry at my friend's place, then got the recipe and now make balish on my own all the time. What can I say: little individual pies with a very juicy, fragrant filling, nothing like our usual hand pies. I highly recommend it!

    1. Put the softened butter in a bowl, crack in an egg, pour in the milk, and add the baking soda and salt. Whisk the ingredients together, then add the sifted flour and knead a dough. Knead for no more than 5 minutes — it should be soft and not stick to your hands. Gather the dough into a ball, cover it with a towel, and set it aside while you make the filling.
    1. Wash the meat, cut it off the bone, and dice it small. Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into cubes about the size of the meat. Combine the meat and potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and mix. Put the leftover lamb bone in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and boil for about 30 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil. Skim off the foam as it cooks, and when the broth is done, strain it through a fine sieve.
    1. Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each one out thin (about 1/8 inch / 3 mm); place the filling in the center, lift the edges up, and pinch them neatly, leaving an opening at the top.
    1. Transfer the balishi to a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake in an oven preheated to 355°F (180°C) for half an hour. Then take the sheet out, pour a couple of tablespoons of broth into each balish, and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
