Pierogi

Traditional Polish Dumplings

Pierogi

Pierogi are Polish stuffed dumplings, a little bit like ravioli. Pierogi ruskie are stuffed with mashed potato, Polish farmer's cheese (twarog) and onions. They are boiled and can then be eaten with just a little butter or you can then fry them so they crisp up on the outside. Personally, I love to fry them with a bit of onion to get even more flavour into these cheesy pierogi.

Pierogi, are among the most popular types of Polish dumplings. A traditional Polish dish that is found in several variations, such as sweet and savory, these dumplings are a staple of Eastern European cuisine and are a type of comfort food that all households hold dear. Despite what the name sounds like, pierogi ruskie doesn't translate to "Russian pierogi" but refers to the Ruthenians or Rusyns, the people from around the northern Carpathian Mountains in western Ukraine, eastern Slovakia, and southern Poland.
