Since I am Ukrainian I figured I would post my favorite Ukrainian dish! This is a great way to use up your beet tops!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread dough (frozen or from bread-maker) shopping list
- 2 large bunches of beets with tops shopping list
- 2 tbsp butter shopping list
- 1 small onion, chopped shopping list
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill shopping list
- 1 cup cream shopping list
How to make it
- Cut tops off beets. Remove stems and thick ridges. Save beetroot for another use.
- Wash and dry leaves- If leaves are mature, wilt slightly for easier handling by scalding with hot water,Cool and dry.
- Grease a round roaster or large casserole dish, or line with parchment paper.
- Cut off small pieces of thawed bread dough (about the size of a walnut) and wrap each in a beet leaf, rolling loosely. If leaves are very small, use 2 or 3 per bun.
- Place buns in layers, filling roaster half full. Sprinkle each layer with salt and drizzle with butter or oil.
- Top with a layer of leaves, cover, and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk (1 - 1 1/2 hours).
- Bake, uncovered, in pre-heated oven at 350F for one hour.
- Fry onion and dill in butter over medium heat until soft. Add cream and simmer about 10 minutes.
- When buns are done, remove protective layer of leaves. Pull buns apart, place on a platter, and pour the dill cream sauce over them. Serve warm.
