If you want to please your family with something tasty and original, you can make delicious boats from dough stuffed with meat, potatoes and pickles. This is a great dish for breakfast or dinner.

To prepare boats, use ready-made puff yeast-free dough. This dough can be purchased in advance and stored in the freezer. I, for one, do just that.

So, to prepare this original dish, we need the following products:
0.5 kg of puff yeast-free dough,
0.3 kg of pork pulp,
one large onion,
four medium potatoes,
120 g fresh butter,
one large pickled cucumber,
60 g of hard cheese,
one egg,
ground pepper and salt to taste.

The products are prepared. And now the cooking process itself.

1. Take the puff pastry out of the freezer twenty minutes before cooking and defrost it. We cut each layer of dough into six rectangles of the same size. Sprinkle with flour and roll slightly in one direction. We make neat cuts on opposite sides.

2. Boil peeled potatoes until tender and make mashed potatoes, adding salt to taste and 40 g of butter. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. Cut the pork into small cubes, fry it in the remaining butter, which we melt in a pan. Fry on both sides over medium heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Cut the onion into half rings and add to the meat. Cover and simmer for ten minutes. Then, increasing the heat, simmer until the liquid completely evaporates. Put on a plate and cool.

Put one tablespoon of mashed potatoes on the prepared rectangles and evenly level them over the surface of the dough. Put the chilled meat with onions on top, and on it a cucumber, cut into small cubes.

3. Now gently wrap the dough one by one on both sides so that the cuts are located in the middle of the pie, one above the other.

4. Seal the edges firmly, giving the pie the shape of a boat.

5. Take a baking sheet and line it with baking paper. Carefully lay out the prepared boats on it. Grate the hard cheese and sprinkle on the boats. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and brush the dough products with a brush.
6. Preheat the oven to two hundred degrees. We put the baking sheet in the oven for twenty-five minutes. The boats should be golden and the cheese should melt and brown. We take out the finished puff pastry boats from the oven, cool a little, put on a dish and, decorating with sprigs of fresh herbs, serve. Bon appetit, everyone!

Puff pastry boats will serve as a complete dish, including side dishes, meat and vegetables. It will take some time to prepare, but such boats should be cooked at least once.

The dish looks interesting and appetizing, it can be served on the table for guests. There is no strict recipe, the ingredients can be changed to your liking.

We will prepare products according to the list.

The first step is to defrost the puff pastry. Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, add water and boil. Add salt.

Wash the chicken meat and cut it as small as possible.

Peel the red onion and cut into quarters. Red onions can be replaced with onions.

Fry the chicken meat in vegetable oil over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add onion, salt, cover and simmer over low heat until tender.

Crush boiled potatoes with butter and puree.

Divide the defrosted dough into plates, I had it so wrapped. Roll each plate a little with a rolling pin and divide into two rectangular parts as in the photo. In each rectangle, make cuts on opposite sides.

Put mashed potatoes in the middle of each rectangle.

Put the fried meat and onions in the next layer.

Cut the pickled cucumber into thin half rings and put on top of the meat.

Close the boats on both sides. The cuts in the dough will be in the middle of the pie.

Pinch the edges of the product on each side to make it look like a boat.

Place baking paper on a baking sheet. Arrange boats and brush with beaten egg.

Bake at 200 degrees until a beautiful ruddy color, about 15-20 minutes.

Puff pastry boats are ready.

Bon Appetit!

The puff pastry boat snacks stuffed with meat and potatoes will perfectly fit into the dinner menu. Judge for yourself: delicious, satisfying, cooks quickly, without requiring any special skills. In addition to meat products - minced meat or pieces of pork, finely chopped sausage, sausages, chicken fillet are put in the filling. Variants with fish are known, for example, a noble dish can be prepared with salmon.

If you add pickles and cheese to potatoes with meat, the filling will become richer. Sometimes I put mushrooms, getting a kind of mini-pizza in boats. By the way, if you cover the pie with a fried egg on top, then a completely different dish will appear on your table, reminiscent of khachapuri.

Puff pastry is made without yeast or yeast - it doesn't matter. It is not necessary to cook it yourself, nowadays it is much faster to buy a couple of packages and toss it into the refrigerator, freeing yourself from fiddling with flour.

• Potatoes - 3-4 pcs.
• Egg.

How to cook meat boats

Let's start with the filling. If you are lucky and have a bit of mashed potatoes left from dinner, then rejoice and use it. Otherwise, quickly peel and boil the potatoes. Grind in mashed potatoes, add a piece of butter (30 grams, not everything indicated in the recipe).

Work on meat at the same time. I don't like using minced meat too much. I prefer to chop meat products into small pieces.

Do not stand on ceremony with onions - cut into half rings.

Fry the meat pieces in a skillet, add the onion rings to them and fry together, not forgetting to pepper and salt the filling.

First cover with a lid, after 10 minutes remove the lid and wait for the juice to evaporate. Cool the workpiece slightly.

Cut the cucumbers into strips into a separate bowl.

Spread out the dough layers, divide into equal rectangles.

Roll out and make two parallel cuts as shown.

In the middle, between the cuts, lay out the potatoes, level them.

Spread the meat filling on top, in less quantity than mashed potatoes.

Top with cucumber straws.

Cover the filling with half a layer, stretching the incision on this side - the filling will open slightly.

Stretch the other half over the patty, stretching the dough again so that the filling remains visible.

Pinch the corners of the pie, it will look like a boat.

Whisk the egg, brush over the dough and filling.

Rub the cheese shavings and decorate the top of the boat.

It remains to grease the baking sheet, lay out the blanks in a row and send to bake. The residence time in the oven is 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the products. Temperature - 200 o C.

Have you decided to gather a group of friends and family at home, and naturally, you want to defeat them on the spot with your culinary skills?

If I guessed right, then I dare to offer you a very interesting recipe - puff pastry boats with filling, which will be very, very tasty.

This is bread, meat, side dish, and even salad at the same time - and all this in one single dish - isn't it amazing?

Is it possible? - you ask. It happens! Do not believe it, see for yourself.

Despite all the seemingly complexity of this cunning dish, it is very simple in its execution. So, I present to your attention the hearty puff pastry boats!

To prepare eight of these boats you will need:

• Puff yeast dough - 500 grams (2 layers);
• Pork - 500 grams;
• Potatoes - 4-5 pcs.;
• Pickled cucumbers - 4-5 pcs.;
• Onions - 1 pc.;
• Chicken egg - 1 pc.;
• Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons. spoons (for frying);
• Mayonnaise (butter) - how much it will take;
• Cheese - 50 grams (optional);
• Salt to taste.

I will clarify right away that any meat you like is suitable for making puff pastry boats, I preferred pork. The meat must be cut into small pieces.

Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings.

Pour some vegetable oil into a skillet and start frying the pork over medium heat. After five minutes, add the chopped onion to the pan. Continue simmering the meat over low heat with the lid closed.

Turn off the heat after 15 minutes. The meat has been stewed enough.

Finely chop the pickled cucumbers into squares.

Boil potatoes, cool and peel. Then cut it into small squares.

I buy ready-made puff yeast-free dough, it is sold in the form of frozen layers. The dough must be defrosted beforehand. Cut each layer into four equal parts and roll each part into a rectangle.

Put some potatoes in the middle of the rectangle. Salt it.

Then you can put either a piece of butter or a half teaspoon of mayonnaise. This will make the boats much juicier.

Then add the same amount of chopped pickled cucumber.

Make deep cuts on both sides of the rectangle.

Cover the filling with both sides. The filling should "crawl out" into the incision. Close the edges tightly.

Place the boats on a baking sheet at a distance from each other so that they do not stick to each other when baking.

Cover the filling with grated cheese. But I preferred to fill it with boiled grated yolk.

Bake the puff pastry boats in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, since the filling is almost completely ready in advance.

Serve the boats in portions, you can decorate when serving them with a sprig of greens.
