Bichak


Bichak is a stuffed baked three-cornered appetizer, similar to a turnover, served in Bukharan Jewish, Afghan, Middle Eastern, and Moroccan cuisine. It is often served during tea or coffee hour. Bichak can be stuffed with pumpkin and jam for a sweet taste, or meat and cheese for a savory addition to a lunch. Bichak are also popular because they can be prepared in large quantities.
They are traditional for Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot. For kosher dairy meals, bichak stuffed with pumpkin or cheese are served with yogurt or sour cream.
