Jellied pie with sorrel on kefir: recipe
Jellied pie with kefir
The simplest option for preparing baked goods with sorrel is jellied pie. Kefir can be replaced with another fermented milk product - sour cream. But then the baked goods will turn out heavier and not as tender.
- If you want a hearty dish, add a boiled egg to the greens
- Beat salt with eggs and kefir
- Pour vegetable oil (2-3 tablespoons) into a homogeneous mass, and then flour (2 cups) in portions.
- Leave the finished dough for 15 minutes in a warm place
- Pour half the mass into the silicone mold and distribute the chopped greens (3 handfuls)
- It needs to be pressed into the dough so that the filling is distributed throughout the entire volume.
- Fill with the second part and place the baked goods in the oven
The jellied pie gets its name from the batter that is simply poured into the mold. This is the easiest way to prepare delicious baked goods. The only secret is the correct distribution of the filling inside such a dessert. A heavy filling will itself “sink” in the dough, while a light filling will need to be “sunk” on its own.

Making a delicious sorrel filling
The filling for pies made from sorrel with sugar is the most popular among chefs. This is due to the fact that its preparation requires a small set of products, which are processed in just a few minutes.
Freshly picked sorrel leaves are thoroughly sorted (the stems are torn off, spoiled elements are removed), and then placed in a colander and washed thoroughly under strong pressure of warm water.
After this, the plant is shaken vigorously, placed on a cutting board and finely chopped with a sharp knife.
Having crushed the product, place it in a large enamel bowl, add granulated sugar and mix thoroughly with a spoon. At this point, the filling for sorrel pies is considered completely ready. You can use it for its intended purpose until the ingredients begin to release their juice (within 10-12 minutes).
