bishak-(bukharian-pumpkin-pastry)

In theme with our triangular shaped goodies for Purim, I have something special for you all - Bishak, a Buharian Baked Pumpkin Pastry. These savory baked pumpkin pastries, known as kadoo bishak, are a specialty of Bukharian Jews. Soft dough filled with pumpkin, onion, garlic, and spices. They are so delicious that I simply don’t understand how they are not the number one star of the fall season. Bishak is traditionally served as an appetizer or a snack. There are many varieties to bishak, ones made with meat and others with cheese, but so far the pumpkin-filled ones are my favorites! Bonus: They are vegan, which makes me even more excited. You have to try them. Make a batch for your family and friends. I promise they will shovel them down in no time!
