Pierogi

What are Pierogi?

A pierog is a traditional Eastern European dumpling made from unleavened dough filled with savory or fruit ingredients. The dough is softer than pasta dough, requiring about five minutes of kneading, unlike pasta, which is typically kneaded longer. Common in Polish cuisine, pierogi are boiled and frequently pan-fried, and served with toppings like sour cream, butter or onions.

What's in a Pierog?

Pierogi are made with such ingredients as potatoes, cheese, meat, mushrooms or fruit. The classic version combines potatoes, cooked onion and twarog cheese, a soft farmer cheese. Other popular combinations include Sauerkraut and Mushrooms as well as Cabbage and Mushrooms. If you make your own Potato and Cheese Pierogi, try using Cooper Sharp cheese for an old-school Pennsylvania touch.

How to serve Pierogi

Serve boiled Pierogi tossed in butter along with a little starchy cooking water. Saute Pierogi alongside kielbasa and onions in a pan with butter until everything is golden and lightly crisped, allowing the flavors to meld into a rich, savory dish. - AsNotedIn
