Pierogi (polish Dumpling) Lovers Here????

Interesting... my grandmother and father always used eggs! I've been afraid to but now you gave me some confidence!

Glad to have helped.

My English wife also makes pierogi dough with just flour and water.
(She was taught by my mother)

Are you sure that wasn't for 'kluski' or for noodles for chicken soup lol......


:)

So, I'm wondering if this venture ever took off?

I use my Babci's recipe for pierogi and made hundreds at Christmas. Potato, kapusta, and mushroom. Two questions:

1. Anyone have a good recipe for the meat filling? What kind of meat does one use?

2. Has anyone tried using whole wheat flour?

Thanks!

Cheese and butter are not vegan!

True but you can buy vegan butter and vegan cheese now but they are synthetic concoctions made from soya and loads of processed stuff.


AN ex vegan lol :)

I wondered if the ideas ever came through too! the fish one sounds good i may have a crack at that dish tonight even!

I'm from poland and I like Blueberry ones and ones with meet, saur craut and truffles.

really? i've never had it... how is that?

Pierogi Ruski Italiano,

Saute pierogi's in olive oil with garlic and sweet peppers and salt and crushed red pepper. You can then add tomatoes if you like. It is basically a fusion of Polish and Italian cuisine. You can experiment.

It's good.

STICK WITH YOUR BASIC PIEROGI..CHEESE,POTATOE,KRAUT/MUSHROOM..IF THEY ARE GOOD YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM

farmers cheese is used---but DRY cottage cheese can also be added to potato, and some carmelized onion......

as far as meat fillings....I have heard of taking left over raost beef, with the potato and carrots and onion.

left over ham or bacon can be added to your kraut filling also.

I have never made them but I think using ground pork that you ave cooked and added some sauted onion and mushroom and blanched cabbage would be good also...like an egg roll.

I agree with Wrocław, a tuna melt pierogi would go down a treat with most people. There is scope for versatility here. Poland has a broad enough range but hasn't really explored the wealth of options/various possibilities.

Even stringy cheese inside would be nice. Mushrooms certainly find pride of place, as does cabbage, but there are many other permutations.
