1 liter of vegetable oil is poured into a deep container and placed on the fire until it boils. Then the cheburek is placed here and fried on both sides until golden brown.

Caspian chebureks
In fact, any recipe for making chebureks involves meat. However, fish variations are very popular in the Caspian Sea. And it turns out very well. The Caspian experience will be very useful on days of non-strict fasting, when meat is prohibited, but fish is not. Usually minced meat is made from pike perch, but any other fish will do, preferably fresh and not frozen, and with a minimum of bones. For half a kilo of minced meat, take three onions, and instead of kefir, use fish broth. In addition to salt and pepper, it is advisable to add some other fish seasonings. The dough will suit any recipe. Otherwise, the cooking process is no different from meat chebureks: the flatbreads are rolled out, the filling is laid out in the middle, the edges are pinched, and the pieces are fried in vegetable oil.
Lazy pasties
The recipe is that you don't need to make the dough at all. Therefore, the cooking time is reduced. By the way, many cheburek shops are experimenting with this. To prepare lazy pasties for two servings, you need to take two pita breads. Carefully cut one sheet. First, place a piece of pita bread on the table and place the filling on the edge. Press it down well with a fork and distribute it evenly over one half. Then we take the empty edge and cover the filling with it. Roll out lightly with a rolling pin.
Fry the cheburek in a frying pan in vegetable oil. You can also use a deep fryer.
Correct filling
It is wrong to think that minced cutlets are quite suitable for chebureks. The recipe for making chebureks with meat requires a completely different handling of meat. Traditionally, meat should not be ground, but minced, but modern recipes still suggest using a meat grinder. The first and main difference from minced cutlets is that the lard that is put into the minced meat should be one third of the total weight of the filling. Then onions. You need to take more of it - about half the meat component. Lazy people, of course, can put it together with the meat through a meat grinder, but pasties in which the onion is very finely chopped and ground with salt will be much tastier. And lastly: you must add liquid to the minced meat so that it becomes sticky. You can limit yourself to water, but it will be tastier to add kefir - a glass per kilogram of filling.
Cooking pasties in a frying pan
Of course, frying in a large amount of vegetable oil is not very healthy. If your household cannot eat too fatty foods, then there is another option for frying pasties. For example, in a frying pan.
For this you need very little vegetable oil. But the pasties turn out to be more useful.
Chebureks in the oven
There is an even healthier recipe, especially if the chebureks are filled exclusively with vegetables and herbs. To prepare such pasties, you need to use the oven. In this case, no vegetable oil is added at all. You can grease the baking sheet with a little margarine.
The oven turns on 180 degrees. While it is heating up, place the pasties on a baking sheet. Place them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, after which they should be turned over and baked for another 15 minutes. However, a lot depends on the specific model of the oven, so it’s better to double check than to overcook them, because otherwise the pasties will become dry, the juiciness will disappear and they will turn out less tasty.
Thin, crispy chebureki with meat in vodka
Crispy pies according to this recipe will definitely become your favorite
We will need:
For the test:
- Wheat flour (highest grade) – 200 grams;
- Water – 100 ml;
- Vodka – 1 tablespoon;
- Sugar - a third of a teaspoon;
- Salt – 1 pinch;
- Sunflower oil – 2 tablespoons and separately for frying;
For filling:
- Minced meat (pork, beef, chicken, lamb or mixture) – 175 grams;
- Onions – 1 piece (medium);
- Salt, pepper, other spices - to taste.
Preparation:
Pour warm water, add salt, sugar, mix until smooth. Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Make a hole in the flour, pour water into it, add vodka and boiling vegetable oil.
Mix the resulting mass, place it on the table, and knead well. Cover with a towel, leave for 15 minutes, then knead well again. We repeat the steps two more times.
Peel the onion, rinse well, chop into small cubes. Combine the minced meat with onions, season with salt and pepper, at your discretion. Pour in a little water, it will add juiciness and tenderness to the filling.
Sprinkle the work surface with flour and roll out the dough into a thin layer. Using a plate, we form circles 15-20 cm in diameter. Place the filling on one part of the circle and cover with the free part. We pinch the edges very tightly, the filling should not leak out.
Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan, lay out the pasties, fry on both sides for 3-5 minutes.
Place the finished “pies” on paper towels to absorb excess fat. Serve to the table, bon appetit!
Cooking features
We looked at several recipes for chebureks as in cheburek: with vodka, mineral water and beer. The filling can be absolutely anything, from meat or fish to herbs. It all depends on your tastes and preferences.
However, each dish has its own cooking characteristics. First, let's look at the dough:
- The dough should be elastic, tight, but not oversaturated with flour. Also, it should not stick to your hands.
- The dough needs to be kneaded for a long time, but if you have a bread machine, it will make the task easier.
- Yeast is not added, as the dough will rise too much and you will end up with half-empty pasties.
- It’s not for nothing that vegetable oil is added to the dough, so it becomes softer and more pliable to work with.
As for the filling, it also has its own cooking features:
- Onions are added not only for flavor, but also for the juiciness of the filling.
- You must add liquid (meat broth or water) to the minced meat. Then the meat will not turn into one continuous lump, but will become more crumbly.
- Chebureks are fried only in vegetable oil. It’s very good if you have a deep fryer at home, then it’s even easier to cook pasties in it.
- After the chebureki are fried, they need to be laid out on paper napkins so that the excess vegetable oil is removed.
- As for meat, many cooks do not grind it in a meat grinder, but chop it with a knife. After all, in this case the filling turns out more juicy and tasty.
- A lot of onions are definitely added to the filling. Then the chebureks have excellent taste and aroma. However, the onion needs to be ground through a meat grinder so that it releases the juice and adds juiciness to the dish.
Recommendations
To prevent the chebureks from having a burnt taste and aroma, they must be fried only in fresh vegetable oil.
It is very important to carefully seal the edges of the dough. If the pasties open during frying, the juice will leak out and they will become dry.
If you can’t hold the dough together, then moisten the edges with water.
When using a deep fryer, it is worth remembering that more vegetable oil may be needed for frying.
Do not put the pasties in cold oil, as they will become too fatty and their taste will no longer be as delicate.
To understand what the temperature of the oil is in the frying pan, place a small piece of dough into it. If it immediately floats to the surface, then you can fry the pasties.
Video on how to cook meat pasties in the oven
Yes, you heard right, pasties can be cooked in the oven. This version of the dish can be called dietary, because the recipe uses a minimal amount of oil. Meat pies cooked in the oven are perfect for people on a diet or simply for those who do not like fatty foods. In general, I don’t want to delay it, it’s better to watch the video recipe for this wonderful dish.
If you haven’t cooked pasties at all, I highly recommend doing so. Because a purchased product may be tasty, but not the same as what you can get at home. And you can put enough fillings, not to mention the price.
While cooking, adhere to some points:
- Be very careful with the oil, carefully insert and remove the product so that splashes do not get on the skin.
- When turning over, try not to pierce the cheburek, otherwise all the juice will flow out and the oil will start to “shoot”.
- Take fattier meat.
- If you add more water, nothing bad will happen, the filling will only turn out juicier.
- Be sure to add a lot of onions to the minced meat, it guarantees tasty and juicy meat.
- Try adding various additives to the meat, for example, sausage cheese, it goes very well with the base.
