For those who don’t like dough and avoid flour, we suggest Paliria vine leaf pie with bulgur and vegetables! A vegetarian pie that will win over anyone who tries it!
16 pieces of 680g jar Paliria Vine leaves in brine
For the filling:
150 g bulgur
1 dry onion finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
100 g finely chopped colored peppers
1 finely chopped zucchini
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 shot of dry white wine
500 ml. vegetable broth
1 bunch of aromatic herbs (spearmint, parsley, dill)
6 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper
1. In a deep pan, add the olive oil along with the onions, peppers, zucchini and sauté for 2 minutes over medium heat, until they become glossy. Pour in the wine and add the bulgur. Mix well until glossy and add the tomato paste and the broth. Stir, lower the heat and allow all the liquid to be absorbed.
2. Remove from heat, check the taste for salt and pepper, add the herbs, stir and allow to cool.
3. In a greased 24 cm baking pan, lay out half of the vine leaves, add the filling, level the surface with a spoon and cover the pie with the remaining leaves.
4. Drizzle with a little olive oil, cover the pie with parchment paper and aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and uncover it. Continue baking for another 10 minutes and it is ready.
You can add 2 tablespoons of raisins and 1 tablespoon of toasted pine nuts to the filling!
