Kurnik (pirog)

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Kurnik, also known as wedding pirog or tsar pirog, is a dome-shaped savory Russian pirog usually filled with chicken or turkey, eggs, onions, and kasha or rice, sometimes including boiled rooster combs. It originated in southern Russia, particularly among Cossack communities, and became known as a wedding dish elsewhere in the country; on special occasions it was served to the tsar himself, and it remains a dish for celebrations across Russia today.
