Description
Pierogi are beloved dumplings of Eastern European origin, particularly famous in Polish cuisine. They are semicircular dumplings made from an unleavened dough, stuffed with a variety of fillings. This classic version is filled with a simple and comforting mixture of potato and cheese ("Pierogi Ruskie"). They are first boiled, then often pan-fried in butter with onions until golden brown. Served with a dollop of sour cream, they are the ultimate comfort food.
A Taste of History
The origin of pierogi is debated, with some tracing them back to China via Marco Polo, similar to other dumplings. They have been a staple in Poland since at least the 13th century. "Pierogi Ruskie," despite the name, are associated with a region that was once part of Poland (Red Ruthenia) and not Russia. They are a beloved national dish, served at festivals and family gatherings.
