This recipe is delicious and reminds me of my trip to St. Petersburg, Russia. Of course this recipe is a much healthier version of an old time favorite. During the days of the Soviet rule, russian families would bake these wonderful pies. They were inexpensive and very filling. Basically, they are just large bread loaves filled with various meats, veggies, seasoning, and fruits. Beef and mushrooms, chicken and rice, and fruit seem to be the favorites. Now days you can find them at local eateries through out St. Petersburg. Add a salad to this hardy pie and dinner is served. Enjoy!
