Pierogi

Rare card · No. 19755

Pierogi ( pirr-OH-ghee; Polish: [pjɛˈrɔɡʲi] , sing. pieróg [ˈpjɛruk] ) are filled dumplings made by wrapping unleavened dough around a filling and cooking in boiling water. They are occasionally flavored with a savory or sweet garnish. Typical fillings include potato and tvorog cheese, sauerkraut, ground meat, mushrooms, fruits, or berries. Savory pierogi are often served with a topping of sour cream, fried onions, or both. Dumplings under the name pierogi are a traditional Polish dish, holding considerable culinary significance in Poland. The recipe itself dates back to at least 1682, when Poland's first cookbook, Compendium ferculorum, albo Zebranie potraw, was published. Pierogi are also popular in modern-day Canadian and American cuisines.
