Pea pirozhki
Description
I first tried pea pies at my aunt's when I was visiting her. Honestly, it took some convincing to get me to try them—the phrase "pea pies" didn't whet my appetite or promise anything good. But I pushed myself and tried them anyway. Whether I liked them or not—you can guess for yourselves, given that I'm now sharing my aunt's pea pie recipe with you :) I hope you'll enjoy these lenten pies too. Good luck with cooking!
