Opened to a miracle in the oven. Dagestani miracle

Traditional Dagestan cuisine is a combination of recipes taken from fourteen ethnic groups that live on the territory of Dagestan. The most interesting thing is that any region of Dagestan adds color to the dishes. The most popular Dagestani dishes are kurze, khinkali and miracle.

Kurze by appearance resemble dumplings with the most various fillings, and they are pinched in a special way.

Khinkal is considered a dish of Avar cuisine, but it is a piece of dough, kneaded in a special way, and then boiled in a strong chicken broth... But khinkals are not only boiled pieces of dough, but also a complex lunch consisting of a boiled chicken carcass, potatoes, sour cream and garlic or spicy tomato sauce, as well as the khinkals themselves.

Miracles are very thin flat cakes or pies, to which some filling is added, for example, from meat or herbs. They are fried to a miracle in a completely dry frying pan, to which not a drop of oil is added.

The filling for a miracle can be prepared at your own discretion from cottage cheese, vegetables, herbs or meat.

For cooking Dagestani miracle with minced meat

– Wheat flour(three full glasses);

- edible salt (1/2 tsp);

- chicken eggs (two pieces);

- filtered water (one full glass).

For cooking fillings for the Dagestan miracle you will need the following set of components:

- fresh parsley and dill (one small bunch each);

- beef (320 g);

– egg(one piece);

- lamb (220 g);

- butter (120 g);

- large onions (two pieces);

- ground black pepper and salt (0.5 tsp each);

- strong meat broth or water (half a glass).

For the Dagestan miracle with meat, you must first cook correctly unleavened dough as if dumplings were being prepared. For this purpose, add salt, filtered water, break chicken eggs, then mix everything thoroughly, add sifted flour to a bowl. You need to knead the dough until it becomes dense enough, then roll it into a ball, transfer it to some deep container, sprinkle it with flour a little on top and close it with a lid for thirty minutes. While the dough is resting, you need to prepare the filling for the Dagestani miracle.

Peel and chop the onions very finely, chop the very finely washed and dried herbs. Chop very finely or mince the lamb and beef, add chopped green, chopped onion to the cooked minced meat, season everything with pepper to your liking and salt a little. Add to meat filling required amount broth or water, as well as one chicken egg, stir the dough until it is completely homogeneous.

Now you need to deal with the dough, dividing it into pieces, of which there should be an odd number. As a result, about seven pies should be made from the dough. Roll out each of the pieces very thinly and in the form of a circle, moreover, its diameter should coincide with the diameter of the pan where the dish will be prepared.

Stretch the resulting circle a little so that it looks more like an oval. On one of the halves of the oval, lay out the previously prepared filling, then connect the edges and press them well. If there is a special wheel for trimming the edges, then it can be used to make the miracle more attractive. Fry ready-made pies or tortillas with filling on each side until golden brown, about three to four minutes. After frying, immediately coat each pie with butter and transfer to a flat dish, like pancakes, in a stack.

Such an interesting name, like the dish itself, came to us from the Dagestan cuisine. Miracle recipes are not endowed with special difficulties and overseas ingredients. Apparently that is why they so quickly took root in families living not only in the territory of Dagestan. What are miracles, and how they can be prepared - read about this later in the article. After spending a little time studying the material, you can pamper the family with delicious and unusual Dagestan miracle.

More about the dish

Let's start with the most important thing: we will find out more about what kind of dish it is. It turns out that these are flat cakes. However, they are not simple, but have a filling. Take a look at the photo of the Dagestani miracle - these are mouth-watering cakes round shape... As a rule, they are prepared from unleavened dough, no yeast added. The miracle is prepared by frying in a dry skillet.

You can also cook the Dagestani miracle in the oven. Then they will have a different name - Dargin. This category of stuffed tortillas can be prepared not only from unleavened, but also from yeast dough... You have to try both options to realize that they are great anyway.

About stuffing

The recipe for the Dagestani miracle combines the simplest and most familiar ingredients. In addition to simple test, the filling is also very common, but no less beloved from this. Usually tortillas are filled with potatoes, cheese or salted cottage cheese... Depending on the personal preferences of the family and the hostess, you can bake them with cabbage filling. But the Dagestani miracle with meat or minced meat is a dish that leaves no one indifferent.

Let's get down to a direct study of the recipes for this distinctive pastry.

Dagestani miracle recipe with meat and potatoes

The dish is cooked in the oven, the dough is kneaded with the addition of yeast. The baked goods will turn out beyond praise. Here are all the products you need to make the Dagestan (Dargin) miracle with filling:

• warm water- 2 glasses;
• dry yeast - 1 packet (10 grams);
• salt - half a teaspoon;
• vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons;
• flour - 4-5 glasses (the exact amount of this ingredient when preparing Dargin (Dagestan) miracle will depend on the amount of gluten in the flour);
• egg -1 piece (necessary to grease the miracle before sending it to the oven);
• butter- 50 grams (to lubricate the finished product).

To make the Dagestan miracle more juicy and tender, we will put potatoes and meat inside. To prepare the filling you will need:

• beef - half a kilo;
• potatoes in the amount of two to five medium tubers;
• onions - one head;
• various spices.

Yeast dough

Let's make the dough by yourself simple recipe using water, salt and yeast with flour. We repeat step by step:

1. We take a suitable deep dish - this can be a large bowl with high walls, a saucepan, or even a small basin. In general, a container in which it will be convenient for you to knead the dough.
2. Warm up the water slightly.
3. Pour yeast into a bowl and add water to it. You do not need to pour out all the liquid at once. To dilute them, take 250 ml.
4. When the dry yeast dissolves and the reaction begins, add salt.
5. Add vegetable oil and flour gradually.
6. Knead the dough, it should be firm in consistency, but not tight, not stick to your fingers and keep the mold.
7. Cover the dish with a lid, towel, or napkin. Place in a warm place so that the base for the miracle rises well. This will take about an hour, during which time you can start preparing the filling.

Filling

While the dough is rising, do not waste precious time and start preparing the filling:

1. Wash the potatoes under running water. Peel the roots and leave them in clean, cool water.
2. Peel and chop the onion in a convenient way.
3. Rinse the meat too. Wipe off with a towel to remove excess moisture. Grind into small cubes.

The components for the filling have been prepared. Let's start molding a miracle:

1. Remove the dough from the dish and knead it well on a cutting table. Divide in two. One part of the dough will be the base, so it should be one third larger than the second, which is used to cover the miracle. Roll most of it into a thin round layer no more than a centimeter thick.
2. Transfer the base to a leaf smeared with vegetable fat. Now you can put the filling on the surface. The meat is laid in the first layer. At this stage, lightly salt it, add all the desired seasonings. The most elementary of these is freshly ground black pepper. But focus on the preferences of your family members. Sprinkle the meat liberally with onions.
3. The potatoes can be cut into thin slices. Spread the potato slices on the surface of the meat cubes and onions. Lightly salt them on top too.
4. Roll out a smaller part of the dough in the same way as the first and, covering the filling with a layer, gently pinch the edges. In the middle of the workpiece, make a small hole about 1 centimeter in diameter. This technique will allow the Dagestan miracle to bake well inside and keep the desired shape of the finished product.
5. Lubricate the entire surface of the future miracle raw egg... Place the baking sheet in the oven for 30-35 minutes. The oven must be preheated thoroughly.

Half an hour later Dagestan dish the miracle is ready! This is hinted at by the breathtaking aroma coming from the kitchen and the golden color of the pastries. Remove from oven and brush generously with a piece of butter.

Vapid wonder

It will take a little more time to prepare a miracle from unleavened (yeast-free) dough. But you will be richly rewarded with rapturous glances from your favorite eaters. Before preparing the Dagestan miracle in a pan, let's decide on the filling. In our case, it will consist of potatoes and cottage cheese. By the way, you can take water or kefir for the test. In the second case, the baking will be softer.

List of components:

• kefir - 1 glass;
• flour - 2.5 cups;
• half a teaspoon of salt;
• soda - half a teaspoon;
• two potatoes;
• hard cheese - 80 grams;
• butter - 40-60 grams;
• favorite greens to taste;
• freshly ground pepper - according to personal preference;
• salt to taste.

Cooking technology

You will need to prepare some ingredients in advance:

1. Cook the potatoes in their "uniform", after thoroughly washing them with a brush. Remove the finished tubers from the water, peel and mash until puree.
2. Grind the cheese on a fine fraction.
3. Soak the greens for a few minutes in cool water and then, shaking off the excess liquid, grind as you like.

To prepare the dough, pour kefir into a bowl and add quicklime soda to it. Next, send the entire amount of salt into the sizzling liquid and, stirring, add in small portions all the flour indicated in the recipe. The correct final result is elastic dough that does not stick to fingers. Moreover, it should be very soft. Forget about the test for ten to fifteen minutes. After this time, knead it well again. Next, start shaping the miracle.

Divide the resulting dough into several equal small parts. If the diameter of your pan is 20 centimeters, then you should get 9 blanks for a miracle. A different size of the dishes, respectively, will entail some changes in their quantity. You can fill the blanks with potato-cheese filling in two simple ways. Choose which one is more preferable in your case.

Method one

Roll out a thin flat cake from each piece of dough on the table, previously crushed with flour. Place one tablespoon of the finished filling in its center. Gather the edges from above and hook. It turns out a kind of "bag" with a filling inside. Press on the surface of the workpiece with your palm so that it flattens slightly for further action. Gently roll out the cake again with a rolling pin. Of course, it is better if the filling during this procedure does not leave the limits of the cake. However, even if such a nuisance occurs, nothing critical will happen. Roll out the miracle to a thickness of one centimeter. If possible, you can make the cake even thinner. But remember that the circumference of the workpiece must match the diameter of the pan.

Second way

As in the first version, divide the dough and roll it out, and then put the finished filling, but only on half of the product. The layer should be thin and even. Smooth it down with a spoon to avoid tearing the dough during shaping. Do not reach the edges a little. Fold the round cake in half. It turns out a huge dumpling. Connect the edges by pressing the dough with your fingers around the entire perimeter. Roll out the workpiece to the diameter of the dish in which you will bake the Dagestan miracle. You can bake a miracle in the shape of a semicircle.

Cooking in a pan

Heat the dishes over very low heat. It should warm up evenly, but not heat up, so that the miracle does not burn instantly. Do not grease the pan. Place the workpiece on a dry surface and bake over very moderate heat. Fry a miracle on both sides. Unleavened products will not be evenly golden, therefore, after waiting for brownish blotches and bubbles to appear on one side, turn the workpiece over to the other side. If the cake suddenly swells (this happens), do not worry and just pierce these air pockets with a fork or knife.

Ready-made Dagestani miracle should be flat. From a frying pan, put them on a dish, greased with oil impaled on a fork. Bake the second cake using the same technology and place it on a platter on top of the first one, again greasing it with plenty of oil.

Delicious miracle with potato and cheese filling are ready. Serve hot and hot.

Dagestan dish "miracle"

The cuisine of the peoples of Dagestan is fraught with an amazing feature - with minimum set ingredients and a fairly simple recipe, it allows you to prepare a large number of dishes, each of which will have a unique, different taste. Dagestan dishes are colorful gastronomic mosaics with many unusual details.

The harsh conditions of highland life and the need for long and difficult work in the fresh air could not but affect the recipe for cooking. Dagestan cuisine is very nutritious, easy to prepare, but healthy at the same time.

The Dagestan dish "Miracle" can be called a vivid example of the variety of variations collected in one dish. It is a fragrant, thin, closed pie that can be made with a wide variety of fillings. True, the Avars call this dish "miracle", other Dagestani peoples have their own names, for example, the Laks call it "kachi".

The uniqueness and versatility of these pies is that they can be cooked all year round using the so-called seasonal fillings:
In the spring, Dagestanis cook them with an incredible amount of young greens. different types... It could be a miracle with nettles, green onions, halt (halta - one of the types of young grass) or beet tops.
In the summer, the filling is complemented fresh vegetables, young potatoes, delicate cheese or cottage cheese;
In the fall, a miracle with a pumpkin comes into its own. It should be noted that this species is the pearl of the Dagestan cuisine. It is loved by the Dagestanis themselves and everyone who has had a chance, at least once, to try it.
In winter, when the food should become as dense and warming as possible, a miracle with meat is most often prepared. This can be fresh or dried lamb or beef.

Chicken miracle is rarely cooked. Although, Lezghins have a terrific variety of holiday cake, which is topped with chicken millet porridge.

There are also varieties of miracle stuffed with chicken and nuts, chicken and beans. These variations are very much in common with Georgian cuisine where chicken, beans and nuts are found in many dishes. And since a miracle is also prepared in Ingushetia, in Chechnya, in Kabardino-Balkaria, it can be safely called a Caucasian dish to a miracle.

In general, many species of the miracle have a certain "nationality". For example, "Dargin miracle". Judging by the name, the idea for the recipe probably came to the Dargins. "Dargin Miracle" - very popular, favorite dish in Dagestan. It differs from the usual miracles in that it is made not thin, but a full, tall, closed pie, and is baked in the oven, and not fried in a pan, like the others. Dargins love to add walnuts to a miracle with any filling.

But at festive events it is customary to serve the Avar miracle - Botischal. These are thin tortillas stuffed with potatoes and cheese. An unusual feature of the botischal is that the cheese added to the filling must stretch well when melted. The result is the most delicate, thin cakes that simply melt in your mouth.

The most delicious are the miracles cooked in old wood-burning stoves. Unfortunately, you can't find such people in the city. And in the villages, these ovens have been preserved and are successfully used by many housewives.

The dough, unleavened, yeast-free is used for cooking, the only exception is the Dargin miracle, for which the dough must be either kefir or yeast. Miracle is fried in a dry frying pan without adding oil. In order for the finished miracle to become soft, immediately after baking, it is coated with ghee. You can, of course, use butter or sour cream for this purpose, but the taste will be slightly different.

For any miracle dish, the dough recipe, in principle, will look the same, but the filling recipes will differ. The exception, as already mentioned, will only apply to the dough recipe for the Darginsky miracle.
Dargin miracle

To prepare a dough on kefir you will need:
kefir -0.5 liters;
soda - 1 teaspoon;
salt 1.5 tsp;
flour - 1kg (this is about 5 glasses of 200g each).

All ingredients are mixed, the dough is set aside for 10 minutes to "rest", and you can start baking.

Yeast dough for dargin miracle
flour - 1 kg. (a little more flour will be needed when rolling);
warm milk - 0.5 liters;
butter - 200-205gr.;
a bag of yeast (25 gr.);
sugar - 1 teaspoon;
salt - 0.5 tsp. spoons;
soda - 1 \ 3h. spoons.

The dough is kneaded, covered with a napkin and placed in a cool place (possibly in the refrigerator) for half an hour. Then you can start rolling. You should not get too carried away with adding flour, since the dough should be soft.

The filling for the Dargin miracle is made from thinly sliced ​​potatoes and thinly sliced ​​pieces of lamb or beef (not minced meat). Quite often, Dargin pies are prepared with dried meat, but this option is not for everybody. To make the miracle juicy, it's a good idea to add a little fat to the meat. In Dagestan, fat tail fat is often added.

If fatty meat, for some reason, is contraindicated, then about half a glass of any broth is poured into a small hole in the upper part. During the baking process, the potatoes absorb the broth and become soft and juicy.

The dough is rolled out into two circles. The filling is laid out on the first, then it is covered with a second circle, and the edges are spliced ​​into a neat pigtail. The cake is baked in the oven for about an hour. For a beautiful and golden brown crust, brush the top of the cake with an egg.
Classic subtle wonder

The preparation of the dough for thin miracle is as follows:
500 gr. flour is mixed with a glass of water, added to taste;
kneaded dense soft dough;
the dough is covered with a towel and left to rest for 15 minutes.

Next, the dough is divided into small pieces, each of which is rolled into a very thin circle. The filling is laid out on one half of the circle, the filling is closed with the second half and neatly, but tightly, splits. The splitting process can be simplified if you cut off the edge with a curly roller knife. It will hold the edges together and give the product a beautiful shape.

Miracle is fried in a dry frying pan, alternately on each side, until golden brown. The finished product is lubricated with oil.

Fillings for a subtle miracle
Meat. Lamb or Ground beef mixed with minced onions. Salt, pepper, or other spices are added to taste.
Green stuffing. Finely chopped greens are mixed with cottage cheese or soft cheese.If you wish, you can add a little sour cream or kefir there, so the filling will be more juicy. Salt is added and, if desired, pepper.
Potato and cheese filling for Botischal. The potatoes are boiled and mashed into a nice, homogeneous puree. Grated cheese is added to it. It can be young cheese or Ossetian. If the cheese is salty, then you do not need to add salt to the filling. The ratio of cheese and potatoes is selected individually, according to your preferences. The secret of this filling is that you definitely need to add a small amount of quicklime soda, literally at the tip of a teaspoon. It is this trick that will make the cheese more viscous.
Pumpkin filling. The pumpkin is grated on a fine grater, mixed with finely chopped walnuts as well as lightly fried onions. Salt, pepper, spices are added to taste, but nutmeg opens up especially well here.

Miracle is a dish with a long history. Those who have tried it once will definitely want to continue to continue to discover all its variations.

Peel and wash the potatoes. Then it needs to be chopped into rings, this should be done as thin as possible. If you have a special grater or food processor, this will greatly simplify the slicing process and make it faster.

Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and add raw to it chopped meat... Beef is fine for this dish, but you can use pork, chicken, or lamb. Onion peel, chop finely and also add to the minced potatoes.

Add herbs and spices. You can use any seasoning you like.

Knead the yeast dough from flour, yeast salt and warm water. Put it in a bowl and cover or throw on a towel. After the dough comes up in a warm place, knead it and divide it into a couple of parts so that one is twice the size of the other.

Roll the larger piece as thin as possible into the layer, crushing it with flour.

Put the pre-prepared filling on the rolled dough and evenly distribute the meat and potatoes over it. Leave a couple of centimeters on the sides so you can pinch the dough.

Now roll out a smaller piece of dough and cover the meat and potatoes with it. Pinch the edges so that you get a pigtail, then the cake will not fall apart during the cooking process. Punch a hole in the center for steam to escape. Coat the product egg yolk which will give golden brown... Bake the miracle at two hundred and twenty degrees in the oven for about twenty minutes. Put the finished dish in a plastic bag for five minutes, then it will be even softer and juicier.
