No. 2393 — Small Pies with Mushrooms and Rice
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 2393 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Cook a quarter pound dried porcini, chop finely and fry with chopped onion in four spoons oil.
Season with salt and pepper, mix with a glass boiled rice, which may be cooked in mushroom broth, and fill pastry No. 2365 or 2366.
The original also cites No. 2360 as a dough recipe, apparently by mistake.
Historical editorial note: The method repeats mushroom-and-rice pie No. 2383.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 2393. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
