Perogies.

[wakasume]

In our city, perogies are popular. They can be either vegetarian or have meats inside them. Personally, I like having them without the added bacon. Here's my recipe for perogies. :D They can be stored in freezer for about a month so you can make large batches and om nom nom for later.

Oooh, yummy. I only know these from eating them at a restaurant but they don't sound too difficult to make. And the sweet variety sounds lovely as well.

A quick question: How many perogies does this recipe make? Appraxomately, of course.

Jeez. Now I'm craving perogies...

[wakasume]

Oh jeez. I probably made about 10 of EACH (and they were fairly big sized, if you made smaller ones it'd probably be more quantity.)

[wakasume]

Oh, and what I mean by each is that I added bacon for my family members, or I put onions (yeah you can put onions, mushrooms, whatever) inside. I made a variety of 3-4.

[junalele]

That sounds great. And anyway, since you said they're perfect to freeze, I can just store the ones I can't eat right away. Perfect.

THANK YOU so much for this. I once attempted pierogi 3 years ago, and it was a complete failure. I then tried asking on a community for a recipe that people had tried before and knew worked, and I actually got suggestions telling me to use the pre-made, storebought wonton wrapper dough... *facepalm*

I've been eating the boxed kind my entire life (my dad's family is Polish), and have actually never had real, from scratch pierogi. I always pan-fry mine in a massive amount of butter so they're really crispy on the outside, then drain them/pat them dry (as to not get my hands oily), and then eat them like chips and dip them into sour cream.

You're welcome. ;-_- I've had online friends saying they've never had these before... When they're so common here ROFL. I thought they were all common, I guess not because of all the Ukranian people in my city. :p

It's a tried and true recipe, because I did it myself haha. :D

[trenchcoatedson]

Most people outside of the Slavic countries (Poland, Russia, etc.) or people who live somewhere with no Slavic influence probably wouldn't know what pierogi are. They've become a little well-known in America because of a boxed brand, but I definitely wouldn't consider them common. No one knew what I was talking about when I mentioned them, anyway.

[wakasume]

Yeah I can see that. We have lots of those Slavic cultures in our city so they're more common and loved. :P

My mom makes vegan pierogies for me. They're one of my favorite foods. She uses soy butter, and adds mushrooms or broccoli to the mashed potato filling.

Awesome!

thanks for the recipe. I SO love peirogies, but all th eones i've had in the past had rennet in them (yuck) so in with vegetarianism, out with peirogies. This recipe will let me enjoy one of my favorite foods again! Thanks!
