Polish Pierogies
Ingredients
- For the pierogi dough:
- 1 pint sour cream
- 5 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- For the filling:
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound soft farmers cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 whole egg
- To finish:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Directions
- FOR THE DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, flour, butter, 2 whole eggs, egg yolk, 2 teaspoons salt and olive oil. Knead the mixture into a soft dough. Divide the dough in half and cover for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll each half of the dough into a thin circle, 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough using a 3-inch circle cutter.
- FOR THE FILLING: Season the beef with salt and pepper. In a sauté pan, render the ground beef for 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-lined plate. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, ground beef, shallots, garlic, green onion and egg. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle of dough and fold over. Press and seal into half-moon shapes. Use a little water to seal the pierogi's. In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pierogi for 8 minutes, or until they float. Remove from the water and drain.
- In a sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Sear the pierogi for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan. The pierogi will need to be sautéed in batches.
- Arrange the pierogi's on a platter. Garnish with parsley and serve with sour cream.
