This useful herb is used to make not only rich cabbage soup and borsch, but also rich pasties and delicious flavored cakes. Surely everyone remembers grandmother’s pastries stuffed with sorrel and eggs - the taste of childhood cannot be forgotten.
Modern hostesses prefer home-made cakes or semi-finished products. Let's make a signature sorrel cake with a sweet and sour flavor. This dish will appeal to your children. It is very simple and useful. Before cooking, we make a short reservation about the benefits of this plant. Sorrel leaves contain a number of valuable vitamins and minerals.
And thanks to the presence of ascorbic acid in the grass, you can get rid of vitamin deficiency. It has a plant antiallergic, astringent, analgesic and choleretic effect. By eating sorrel dishes, you will solve digestive problems. We talked about the benefits, now we will make a pie with sorrel from the curd dough.
For the test: cottage cheese (500 g), egg, soda (on the tip of a knife), sugar (50 g), a pinch of salt, butter (50 g), two cups of flour, water (1/4 cup).
For the filling: sugar (100 g), four bunches of sorrel.
Cooking dough
Cottage cheese is passed through a meat grinder to give it airiness and a more delicate structure. Add the egg, butter (soft), salt, soda, sugar and water. Mix thoroughly and add flour - knead thick dough. Cover it with a towel and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Now let's make the filling, without which the pie with sorrel will not work. Rinse the grass thoroughly with water, cut off the stems, cut into any form. In order for the leaves to decrease in volume, they need to be warmed up in the microwave or in a pan - just a couple of minutes. Mix the sorrel with sugar - the filling is ready.
We roll out a layer of dough, put it on a greased baking sheet, and distribute the filling on top. We make “flagella” from the dough. Cut it into thin strips and cross the pie crosswise. Lubricate with vegetable oil to give a beautiful golden color and bake for half an hour at 180 ° C. Make sure that the cake does not burn (it is better to turn off the oven earlier). Here is such a sweet cake with sorrel you have succeeded. Its gentle piquant taste will give you a spring mood and support vitamins.
