In Russia, we like to bake pirogi (pies) or piroshki (mini-pies). They are usually made from yeast dough with various fillings. One of the very tasty sweet-n-sour fillings is sorrel (or sour grass) with sugar.  I bought it at DePiero’s farms. I made my pie in the form of roll, because I like it best.

Great soft and nutty-flavor cookies. Gluten free, eggs free. Traditionally served on All Saints Day every November 1st. Made from sweet potato puree and almond meal, rolled in nuts and baked for perfection. My first, but not last panellets with walnuts and almonds. Really good things. Adapted from Sopa de letras (Russian)
