Ingredients

*For the Baskets:*
- 300 g flour
- 200 ml warm water
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

*For the Filling:*
- 100 g Inedit soy granules
- 2 bunches of green onions
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 celery
- 3 mushrooms
- 1/2 parsley root
- salt and pepper, to taste
- a bunch of fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing the vegetables
- 3 tablespoons tomato juice with bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil for greasing the molds

Preparation Steps

1. Preparing the Dough

We start by preparing the dough for the baskets. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. In another container, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. This step is essential to activate the yeast.

Add the yeast-water mixture to the flour and start kneading. Add the olive oil and continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic and smooth. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

2. Preparing the Filling

Meanwhile, we take care of the filling. Place the soy granules in a bowl and pour boiling water over them, letting them swell for 15 minutes. After they have hydrated, drain them well through a strainer and squeeze them a little to remove excess water.

Clean and finely chop the green onions. In a pan, heat the olive oil and add the onions, allowing them to sauté until translucent. Meanwhile, clean the vegetables: the carrot, celery, mushrooms, and parsley root, which we will finely chop in a blender.

Add the chopped vegetables to the pan, allowing them to sauté for about 10 minutes. Then, add the hydrated soy and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes. Finally, add the tomato juice and let it cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the finely chopped dill. This filling will give a delicious taste to our baskets.

3. Forming the Baskets

After the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal parts. Take a piece of dough and roll it out on an oiled work surface, forming a circle. Using tart molds or ramekins, line each mold with dough, making sure to let the edges hang over. Generously fill each basket with the soy and vegetable filling, then pull the edges of the dough over the filling.

4. Baking

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Grease the molds with oil and place the baskets in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the dough is golden and crispy.

5. Serving

After the baskets are ready, let them cool slightly before removing them from the molds. Serve warm, alongside a fresh green salad or pickles, for a contrast of flavors.

Useful Tips

- Choosing Soy: Make sure to use quality soy. Inedit soy granules are excellent for this recipe, having a pleasant texture and a neutral taste that absorbs the flavors from the filling.
- Variations: You can experiment with other vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini, or add spices like paprika or cumin for extra flavor.
- Storing the Baskets: If there are leftover baskets, they can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave. They can also be frozen, but it is recommended to bake them before freezing.

Nutritional Benefits

These baskets are a healthy choice, having a high protein content due to the soy and being rich in vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. Whole flour, if used, adds fiber, helping with digestion and keeping the feeling of fullness longer.
