Cabbage Pirozhki (Russian puffy pastry, fried)

Who knew I would find myself on the beach in 25 degree weather? Taking the Q train to Brighton Beach on a cold November day I spotted a brave street vendor selling an assortment of Russian treats. One of these items were Pirozhki, a Russian puff pastry stuffed with sweet or savory filings, served either baked or fried. For me, I went with a fried cabbage stuffed Pirozhki. The pickled cabbage pastry had a nice fried outer shell, yet a soft inside while the filling itself taste like a savory egg roll, with less grease. For $1.50, these Russian grab and go items are worth a second bite!
