Baked Zrazy
Description
The recipe for baked zrazy in my notebook is written as a recipe for two dishes at once: the zrazy themselves and a sour cream sauce with green onions. I often prepare baked zrazy during fasting periods—it's a very good vegetarian dish. When I'm not fasting, I still make the zrazy from vegetables only, but I add boiled eggs to the sauce. You can experiment this way too. Maybe you'll like it better. Although, I'd recommend starting with the classic green onion sour cream sauce.

Step 1

Peel and boil the potatoes. To speed up cooking, cut the potatoes into small pieces. When the water comes to a boil, generously salt it—this will make the potatoes softer. Mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher and let them cool.

While the potatoes are cooling, wash and peel the onion, mushrooms, and carrots. Finely chop the mushrooms and onion.

When the carrots are ready, they will also change color; transfer the onions and carrots to a bowl and set aside. Now, in the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms until the liquid evaporates.

Zrazы are baked in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 40 minutes. When they are almost ready, prepare the sauce. In a blender, mix sour cream, 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil, mustard, salt, pepper, and, of course, green onion. The sauce should be thick, like sour cream.
