What's a pierogie you ask? Well let me tell you, if you have to ask...you are missing out...but, I will tell you anyway. Pierogis (as any self respecting Polish girl can tell you)
are dumplings
of unleavened
dough
– first boiled, then they are baked or fried usually in butter with onions – traditionally stuffed with potato filling
, sauerkraut
, ground meat
, cheese, or fruit. Of central and eastern European provenance, they are usually semicircular, but are rectangular or triangular in some cuisines.
I am sure, as with anything, home made ones are hard to beat, but Mrs T makes some darn good ones at a darn good price. I am sure they would put my efforts to shame!
Pierogies come in many different varieties, but our personal fave is Potato & cheese. Take your box of Mrs T's out of the freezer, separate the pierogies, and toss them in the frying pan. Add butter, onions, and my personal touch,,,bacon & let them slow cook. Comfort food made simple & oh, so delicious!
So if you have never had a pierogie, let me introduce you to Mrs. T, the mother of all pierogies. Besides for the potato & cheese variety, they do have several others, Check out
Mrs T's for everything you ever wanted to know about pierogies. Take it from a Polish girl, I bet my dupa you will love them! Enjoy!
