Polish cuisine: Pierogi Ruskie recipes


Hey there, Tree here again with another Polish recipe of Pierogi. I made the most Polish recipe, Pierogi Ruskie. It has potato-quark filling and they're amazing! I've made a video recording the process, link on the bottom of the page if you're interested. Short recipe - just as last time - here! This time however I'd recommend visiting the video because - apart from the historical look on pierogi - it is quite hard to make them without any kind of visual help (I wouldn't have guessed myself if anyone tried to explain to me the shape of pierogi).


RECIPE


Make sure you have dough and filling ingredients in proportions 1:1 so that you don't have too much filling or dough.


DOUGH


300g of water


500g of flour


Mix it and leave it for at least 5 minutes under cover.


FILLING


350g white cottage cheese (quark?)


350g boiled potatoes


2 onions


salt, pepper, marjoram


Fry the onions, mash the potatoes, mix all the ingredients together until they're solid mass.


PIEROGI (singular)


Flatten the dough (to around 3mm wide) and cut it into circles (with a glass). Grab one and put filling inside. Close it into semi-cicular shape, some call it a half-moon shape. Repeat until you run out of dough or filling. Once you're done, put them into boiling, salted water and stir the water (so they don't stick to the bottom). Take them out once they appear on the surface. They're ready to be served.


Serving


Fry onion on a pan with butter. Put 3-5 pierogi on a plate and spill some butter and onion on top. They are also good when fried.


Apart from that they're quite good when kept in refrigerator or freezer.


Happy cooking!
