Cow Cheese Pie
Hello friends!
Today we are going to make some pie that is a little bit different .
For starters the pie will be without sugar and second the taste or importance of the pie will be linked with the type of cheese that we are going to use.
Now the cheese is cow cheese and it is salty, VERY salty....so to reach the desired taste I put it in the water and taste it ..if it is not the desired taste I put it again in the water and then taste it again until it will be the taste that I require.
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of pie sheets
- 1 kg of cow cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of oil for paper and tray
First we make the mixture by mixing the eggs with the cow cheese.
Then we prepare the pie sheets and we start to make 3 layers with the mixture .
We put the mixture and then cut or brake a pie sheet into big pieces to cover thus the first layer is done.
On top we put again the mixture and we repeat the process 3 times.
Here of course you use little bit of oil to cover the tray if you don't want the pie sheet to stick.
We can add more cheese in a form of snow flakes on top to further increase the taste.
On the last layer (3rd one) we add again some mixture and put it in the oven for approx 20 minutes on medium fire.
Ok now let us see our product!
Slowly but surly I approach the unsuspecting pie !

What?
It seems that the pie was savagely attacked ...but something remains!
Finally I can now present you the...PIE!
Important notes:
Now this type of pie is good as the cheese is good so you must chose the right cheese.
You cannot chose a very salty cheese and you cannot use a cheese without salt.
You must find the right balance to it and the pie will be fantastic.
Now I wish you Good Appetite! And I will see you next time!

Actually the stuffing can be made from the meat, so you can make a mixture of cheese with potatoes, even pumpkin
Preparing various fillings.
Filling for a walibakh (with cheese)
Since the olden days Ossetians prepared walibakh with cheese from cow, sheep and goat milk, which is still popular till this day in the former USSR territories for its exceptional taste. Nowadays, the cheese is primarily prepared from cow milk in rural households as well as in dairy factories in the urban areas of North Ossetia. The recipe to prepare Ossetian cheese is given in a separate article. Meanwhile, we advise you to purchase your Ossetian cheese in grocery stores in Russia. For those living outside of Russia, we recommend using variations of Feta cheese: Bulgarian, Macedonian, Greek, Portuguese, Italian, Israeli. Ideally the cheese should not be too salty and should contain a good amount of milk fat. If the cheese is salty, it can be cut into pieces and left in water for a couple of hours.
Fresh cheese is easily crushed by hands. However, a fine grater also does the job. Add some salt if needed, mix in a bowl and create three circles with a diameter 12-15 cm. Lay them out on a flat plate.
Preparing filling for fidjin (with ground meat)
Ground meat was previously prepared manually with a small axe, chopping off the fat on wooden board and cutting into small pieces. Now, it can be either bought, or passed through a meat grinder, although it was considered among the elder generations that fidjin was tastier if the meat filling was ground manually.
The meat should not be fattening or worse - extra lean. Unlike special holidays and weddings, fidjin is not placed on the table at the start of the meal, and it is not mandatory to have them placed in threes. Therefore, the quantity of fidjin pies depends on the number of guests attending at approximately 0.5 kg of meat for one fidjin.
After adding salt (with a fidjin it is better if you put too much salt rather than too little) and pepper, add thinly grated or minced onions and garlic and mix by hand. Let it stand for 30 minutes for the flavor to spread and you are ready to bake when your dough rises.
There are two ways of shaping a fidjin. The first is the way other Ossetian pies are made (pulling the edges together to form circle and then flatten). The second is by having two layers of the dough and placing the filling on top of the first layer and covering it with a second layer. This way, the ends of the pie are pinched together and a hole is made in the center for the air to escape. Sometimes, to have a juicier filling, some people add water or beef broth through the hole towards the end of the baking.
Fidjin is placed on the lower level of the oven at first just as other Ossetian pies are. After the bottom of the fidjin stops sticking to the baking tray, it can be placed at a higher level in the oven. When the fidjin is ready, it should be placed on a flat plate and the leftover flour should be swept off the top and the top of the fidjin should be glazed with butter.
Wow thank you so much for such a detailed response @shihabieee !
You are right about the meat and cheese too.
I am from Romania and this cow cheese is from a farmer that we trust in my village as we try not to use product that is coming from other means.
Your answer is outstanding and I will try to make this Ossetian pie.
Thank you very much!
