Vegan Knishes with Potato and Dill

The lesser know little sister of the bagel, these vegan knishes are so delicious hot or cold – and there are hundreds of variations on them using various fillings – this one is another favourite. This version is pretty carb heavy so you might need a wee lie down after eating them! They’re delicious with sour cream – recipe here – and mustard butter, which is just 4tbsp butter mixed with 1 tsp wholegrain mustard.

Method

Dough

125 ml vegetable oil

1 tsp white wine vinegar

250 ml vegetable stock

300g plain flour plus extra for kneading.

1/2 tsp salt

Filling

750 g potatoes, boiled and mashed or riced

10 g dill

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1tsp nutritional yeast

Make the dough by combining all the dough ingredients together to form a smooth ball. Cover in clingfilm and leave for an hour or so.

Roll the dough out into a thin rectangle. Combine the mashed potatoes, olive oil, salt and nutritional yeast and spread along the bottom third of the rectangle, then roll the pastry up and cut into 8 knishes of squat round shapes.

Bake in the oven till golden and serve with sour cream and mustard butter!
