İt Bäleş - Tatar Meat Pie


These hearty savory pies are called "İt Bäleş" (pronounced "eet belish") literally translating as "meat pie".   Tatars within Tatarstan do not typically include cellophane noodles (bean threads). I'd often heard of the noodles referred to as "Finchoza".  This is a touch added by Tatars living in East Asia.

This pie was made by Eni - Talia Dolling.  She should get some credit, No?
