A pierogi is made with an unleavened dough, cut into little squares or circles, and filled with your choice of delicious fillings, like meat or cheesy potatoes. Then, the pierogi is boiled (or boiled and pan-fried or baked) and served hot. Are pierogies Polish? Where are pierogies from?
Pierogi are traditionally served sauteed in melted butter with onions or bacon in a large skillet. Frozen perogies are often warmed first in simmering water to thaw. Simply heat some water to a low boil in a large pot, and remove them with a slotted spoon when you're ready to saute.
Pierogi are traditionally served with simple toppings like melted butter, sour cream, fried onions, or pork rinds. They are typically served in pairs (which is why they are always referred to in the plural form) as either an appetizer or main dish. The fillings and toppings traditionally vary by region and personal taste.
During the autumn and winter months, pierogi are stuffed with a mixture of wild mushrooms and sauerkraut. These pierogi are traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve as many Polish people do not eat meat on this day for religious reasons. The dumplings are served in bowls of borscht. Summer is the season when most sweet pierogi are made.
Pierogi can be sweet, savory, or spicy, and the most common fillings include cheese, onions, ground meat, mushrooms, potatoes, and sauerkraut. The sweet versions commonly include various berries, such as strawberries or blueberries. Traditionally, these dumplings are served as the 12th course of a traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner.
1. Bacon and Caramelized Onions Let's start with a traditional Polish topping. Cheese and potato perogies are usually topped with crisp and smoky bacon and sweet caramelized onions. This topping has a wonderful balance of sweet and savory and tastes amazing with the dumplings. To make: Fry bacon in a pan until crisp.
Traditionally, pierogis are served with caramelized onions, bacon bits, and/or a dollop of sour cream. How do you know when pierogies are cooked? Once they float to the top of the boiling water, the pierogis are fully cooked.
Pierogi are simply served with a traditional Polish topping of a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, melted butter, fried onions or pork rinds. You can change up the flavor profile with a sauce made with fresh herbs such as thyme, basil, parsley or chives and green onions.
