Samsa is a traditional Central Asian pastry, often baked in a tandoor. Its triangular shape seals in juicy fillings like lamb or chicken, making it a popular, travel-friendly food along the ancient Silk Road.

Schi is a centuries-old Russian soup, beloved for its simple ingredients and flavor that deepens over time. Traditionally enjoyed over several days, it gets tastier as the flavors meld. With Hungarian paprika, this version adds a modern twist to a classic comfort food.

You can use any meat for these patties. I prefer a mixture of beef, pork and veal in a 1:1:1 ratio.

If you eat the whole cake without cutting it, it turns out that you ate only one piece. :)
