Perfect thing as a light dinner with a salad or as an app/starter: Cucumber and Smoke Salmon Tart! Light, flavorful and can be made ahead (I baked the tart on Sunday and made the remainder on Monday for dinner). Fresh dill from my own urban garden!

Kapustyanyy pyrih
(Капустяний пиріг, Ukrainian-Style Cabbage Pie)
It’s Pi(e) Day on March 14, so I had to make a pie, right? Well, seeing I am still working on educating myself on all things Ukrainian, I decided to make Kapustyanyy pyrih — Ukrainian-Style Cabbage Pie. It’s sort of a cross between a souffle, a crust-less quiche and a savory pie like a potato-leek pie. It’s got a whole lot of cabbage of-course (not fermented cabbage / sauerkraut though, just raw cabbage that is baked), as well as herbs and onions and a light, super eggy crust. It’s not like anything that I have ever had before, but I do quite like it. I also could see making this in like a rectangular brownie pan and serving it as a side with a meat dish. Apparently, you can also make variations with other veggies included (i.e. carrot or potatoes) or add in some sauteed chicken or sausage or ham. Pleasantly pleased at the outcome.
This pie is “waving” at you — and by that, I have called this pie a Liberty Wave Apple Pie. When I went apple picking a few weekends ago, I picked a whole lot of the liberty varietal. The wave part, is self-evident, with the ‘swoosh’. Lots of tart apples, lots of spice, an absolutely delicious apple pie. I am very happy with the design. Bring on the ice cream.
This isn’t the prettiest Chicken Pot Pie that I have ever made, and I guess it’s just a bunch of random veg that I had in the fridge (leeks and cabbage aren’t generally part of the equation) but it sure does taste good. AND I have this t-shirt specifically for Pi Day today on 3.14 so I *of course* had to make a Chicken Pot Pie. Cute, eh? (I mean the tshirt, not the pie)
