Pierogies and Kielbasa, two Polish classics, better together. For those who don't know, a pierogi is a stuffed dumpling, stuffed in our case with potato and cheese. Kielbasa is a broad category of Polish sausages, though typified in the United States by a standard U shape. I followed Jennifer's recipe at
Plowing Through Life, which also includes sautéed onions and heaps of butter. It was easy to make and tasty, too.
My question for the blogosphere for next time: any tips for keeping the frozen pierogies from falling apart when separating? I lost a few in the thawing.
When I lived in Pittsburgh back in the 80s, many of the Orthodox Churches would have freezers. The women of the church would make pierogies and see them by the dozen (in a gallon freezer bag). I don't remember them falling apart, but I normally ate them when others prepared them.
ReplyDeleteOur local Catholic church does a Polish dinner once a year. It's lovely.
