Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Sauerkraut Filling:
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pound sauerkraut, drained, rinsed, and chopped
2 large carrots , peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sour cream, or more
For the Pierogi Dough:
2 large eggs
5 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chicken broth
4 cups all-purpose flour
​​ For Frying Cooked Pierogi:
4 ounces butter
1 cup onion, chopped
Sour cream, for garnish
Bacon bits , for garnish

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and cook until tender but not browned. Add sauerkraut and carrots. Cook, stirring often, 10 to 15 minutes or until volume has reduced and sauerkraut is tender.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons sour cream. If the mixture doesn't hold its shape when squeezed together, add more sour cream.
  • Let this filling cool completely before filling pierogi dough. If desired, store covered in the refrigerator for one day before using.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, 5 tablespoons sour cream, 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and chicken broth until well mixed.
  • Add flour and knead by hand or in a stand mixer until the dough is smooth. Wrap with plastic and let rest at least 10 minutes before rolling.
  • Remove the sauerkraut filling from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut the dough. Gather scraps, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  • Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, portion sauerkraut filling onto all the dough circles before folding.
  • With clean, dry hands, fold dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together, sealing and crimping with your fingers (or use a fork) as for a pie.
  • Roll, cut, and fill the reserved scraps of dough.
  • Bring a deep pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Reduce to a simmer and drop 12 pierogi at a time into the water. Stir once so they don't stick to the bottom. When they rise to the surface, cook 3 minutes or until dough is done to your liking (based on the thickness of the dough).
  • Remove with a slotted spoon to a platter that has been smeared with butter. Pierogi will stick together if drained in a colander, even if the colander has been coated with cooking spray.
  • Repeat until all pierogi are cooked. Serve as is with melted butter or fry in butter.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Add butter and 1 cup chopped onion to a heavy, large skillet and sauté until onion is translucent. Add pierogi and fry until golden on both sides and onion is tender.
  • Serve hot with onion, sour cream, and bacon bits if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make the dough. This will save you time and energy, and it will also help to ensure that the dough is smooth and consistent.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to relax and become easier to work with.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the surface and tearing.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out the pierogi. This will help to ensure that the pierogi are all the same size and shape.
  • Fill the pierogi with your favorite fillings. Some popular fillings include sauerkraut, potato, cheese, and meat.
  • Seal the pierogi by pinching the edges together. Be sure to seal them tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out.
  • Cook the pierogi in boiling water until they float to the top. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve the pierogi with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, sour cream, and fried onions.

Conclusion:

Pierogi are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal, or they can be served as a special occasion dish. With so many different fillings and toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a pierogi that everyone will love.
