Crocodile pie

Here’s the amazing recipe that Gabriela Vlahova just sent us on our e-mail: pr.dragonfly@yahoo.co.uk

Crocodile pie (Gastronom, 2008)

Ingredients:

For the dough:
1 pack of dry yeast
2 spoons of sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 egg
250 ml warm milk
6 tablespoons of oil
500 grams of flour

For the filling:

2-3 cabbage leaves
2-3 onions
500 g minced meat

How to make?

1. Mix the eggs, yeast, milk, vegetable oil, salt and sugar together. Weigh about 500 grams of flour and knead the dough until it stops sticking to your hands. Form a ball cover with a cloth and leave it in a warm place.

2. Start with the filling. Fry the cabbage, onions and meat. Put some salt and add pepper.

3. Throw rectangular layer of dough, cutting the edges to be equal. Mind that the remnants of  the dough will  be used later on.

4. Put the dough in a big pan and cover it with filling. We start from the corners by making incisions in the selvedges – thick slices about 3-4sm. Crossing the shallow, leaving only the first (shape it as the head) and last (shape it as a tail).

5. Use the rest of the dough to form nostrils, eyes and legs. Use scissors to form the teeth and to decorate the whole body. Use your imagination!

6. Bake in oven at 200 degrees until browned. 10 minutes before you take it out, cover it with beaten egg.
