Pierogi
(pie·ro·gi)
Pierogies are dumplings that are stuffed with any type of savory or sweet filling.
Originally a Polish dish!
The outer shell of the dumpling is typically unleavened dough while the insides can be anything.
The most common fillings used to be cheese or potatoes, but now it can range from sweet fillings to meaty fillings as well.
Pierogi may be stuffed (singularly or in combinations) with potatoes, fried onions, or cheese, cabbage, sauerkraut,
ground meat, mushrooms, spinach, or other ingredients depending on the cook’s preferences.
Dessert versions can be stuffed with a fresh fruit filling such as cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, apple or plum; stoned prunes are sometimes used, as well as jam.
