Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Mushrooms
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Vegan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 500 milliliters Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil, and mix until you form a soft dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, finely chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and any water has evaporated.

Step 4

Add the soy sauce and black pepper, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 5

Mix the cooled mushroom mixture with shredded vegan cheese and chopped parsley.

Step 6

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 4-6 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto one side of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press down the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 8

In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add a few chebureks at a time to the hot oil, and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy your vegan chebureks!
