Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 500 g lamb meat (organs - liver, lungs, kidneys)
- 300 g minced pork
- 5 eggs (of which 3 boiled)
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 1 bunch of fresh dill
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- 200 g puff pastry (fresh or frozen)
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the lamb organs well under cold running water. Cut them into small pieces to facilitate cooking. Finely chop the green onions, dill, and parsley, then set them aside.

2. Cooking the organs: Boil the lamb organs in a pot with salted water for about 30 minutes, until tender. Once boiled, drain them and let them cool. Then, chop them finely.

3. Making the drob mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped lamb meat with the minced pork, green onions, dill, parsley, raw eggs, and diced boiled eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

4. Preparing the pastry: If using frozen puff pastry, allow it to thaw according to the package instructions. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, ensuring it is large enough to wrap the filling.

5. Filling the pastry: Place the drob filling in the center of the pastry. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, ensuring it is well covered. Form a tightly sealed package so that the filling does not leak during baking.

6. Baking the drob: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the drob in pastry on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat the remaining egg and brush the surface of the drob with it for a golden, appetizing crust. Bake the drob for 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy.

7. Serving: Let the drob cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, alongside a fresh green salad or with garlic yogurt sauce. This appetizer will add elegance to the Easter table and will surely be appreciated by all guests.

Suggestions and variations: You can experiment with different herbs, such as tarragon or basil, to add new flavors. Also, try replacing lamb meat with beef for a different version. If you want a lighter drob, you can also add vegetables like grated carrots or zucchini to the filling.

The pastry-wrapped drob is not just a savory dish but also a wonderful way to reinterpret culinary traditions. Try this recipe and turn your holiday meals into unforgettable moments!

Put water with salt to boil, and when it starts to boil, add the cleaned and washed lamb offal. Add an onion, a carrot, and parsley, and let everything boil on low heat. Allow it to cool after boiling, then pass it through a meat grinder with a piece of bread soaked in water and squeezed. Mix the minced meat with finely chopped green onion, dill, and finely chopped green parsley, with salt, pepper, and eggs. Grease a dish with oil, place the pastry sheet and stretch it up the sides of the tray, then add a layer of the lamb filling inside. Place the hard-boiled eggs, then the rest of the filling mixture for the drob. Join the edges of the pastry and brush with an egg mixed with milk. Prick with a fork so that the steam does not puff up the pastry, and bake in a preheated oven at medium heat for 40 minutes. For the first 20 minutes, cover the tray with foil, then remove it. The lamb drob in pastry is allowed to cool and can be served as an appetizer for Easter.
