Ingredients

  • 4 large zucchinis
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • Garlic powder
  • Eggs for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchinis into noodle like shapes using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler. In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic and cook for another minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, salt, pepper, and fresh dill. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together the zucchini noodles and beef mixture. Place a heaping spoonful of the mixture onto the parchment paper, then wrap it up into a piroshki shape. Brush each piroshki with an egg wash for a golden brown finish. Bake in the oven for 20 25 minutes until the piroshkis are crispy and cooked through.

Chef’s Insight

The key to the perfect piroshki is ensuring the zucchini noodles are not too wet before mixing with the beef mixture.
