Pierogies With Mushrooms Recipes

MUSHROOM PIEROGI

Steps:

• Remove stems from shiitake mushrooms, and trim stems of white and cremini mushrooms. Place mushrooms in a food processor, and pulse about eight times, until finely chopped. Set aside.
• In a medium saute pan, melt butter and oil over low heat; add shallots. Cook, covered, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Raise heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is nearly dry, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cream, thyme, and parsley, and cook about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• To form dumplings, place a heaping teaspoon of the filling toward the front of a circle of pierogi dough. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, and fold in half around filling to form a semicircle, firmly pinching the edges closed. Set aside on a lightly floured baking sheet. Continue to fill and form pierogi, keeping them covered with plastic wrap, until all the dough has been used.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add half the pierogi. Boil gently until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes, and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and repeat with remaining pierogi. Serve immediately.

PIEROGIE AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of a lasagna-size casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Cook and stir onion in hot bacon grease until golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer onion to bacon and drain bacon grease from the skillet.
• Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms in hot butter until golden and moisture evaporates, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cover the bottom of the prepared casserole dish with a single layer of frozen pierogies and spread 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup on top. Layer bacon, onions, and mushrooms over the top. Spread remaining pierogies over mushrooms, cover with remaining cream of mushroom soup, and top with Cheddar cheese. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until casserole is golden and cheese is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.

PIEROGIES WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Boil the pierogies in salted water, according to package instructions.
• Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a non-stick skillet and place over medium heat.
• Cook the onion for a couple minutes, then add the garlic (so it doesn't burn). Stir and let cook for 1 more minute.
• Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
• Continue cooking the mixture until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the butter and pierogies (drained).
• Flip over the pierogies so they brown on both sides, then add the mushrooms back into the pan.
• Stir to combine everything, adjust the seasonings as needed, and remove from the heat.
• Serve warm. Can be served with sour cream if desired.

PIEROGIES WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the pierogies to a boil. Place pierogies in boiling water and cook through. Remove pierogies from heat and strain. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir until they are coated with butter. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and saute until the onions are soft and the mushrooms begin to give up their liquid. Remove the skillet from heat and add the sour cream and stir until just combined.
• In another skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cooked pierogies to the skillet and saute until browned. Transfer the pierogies to a serving platter and spoon the mushroom sauce on top.

WILD MUSHROOM PIEROGIES

Steps:

• Make filling:
• Pour boiling water over porcini in a small bowl and soak until softened,10 to 20 minutes. Lift porcini out of water, squeezing excess liquid back into bowl, and rinse well to remove any grit. Pour soaking liquid through a paper-towel-lined sieve into a bowl and reserve.
• Finely chop onion and garlic in a food processor, then add cremini and porcini and pulse until very finely chopped.
• Heat butter in a skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook mushroom mixture, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are dry and 1 shade darker, about 8 minutes. Add reserved soaking liquid and simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture is thick, dry, and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes (there will be about 1 cup filling). Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Cool completely.
• Roll out dough and fill pierogies:
• Halve dough and roll out 1 piece on a lightly floured surface into a 15-inch round, keeping remaining dough wrapped. Cut out rounds (about 24) with floured cutter. Put 1 teaspoon filling in center of each round. Working with 1 round at a time, moisten edges with water and fold in half to form a half-moon, pinching edges together to seal. Transfer pierogies as assembled to a flour-dusted kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining rounds, then make more pierogies with remaining dough and filling.
• Cook onions and pierogies:
• Cook onions in butter in a large heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Cook pierogies in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to skillet with onions. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.

PIEROGI WITH SAUERKRAUT AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add sauerkraut, and cook until warmed through.
• Cook pierogi according to package instructions, and serve over sauerkraut and mushrooms.

PIEROGIES WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM AND SHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the mushrooms, onion, salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook stirring occasionally until the mushrooms and onion are tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in sherry and cook until evaporated.
• Sprinkle in flour and stir to combine.
• Stir in milk, broth, and pierogies; bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

PIEROGIES WITH STEWED SAUERKRAUT AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in sauerkraut and flour. Mix in 2/3 cup water. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauerkraut is tender and mixture is thick, stirring occasionally and adding more water by tablespoonfuls if mixture seems dry, about 20 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons butter. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)
• Meanwhile, cook pierogies in large pot of boiling salted water until heated through, about 6 minutes. Drain; transfer to large bowl and toss with remaining 4 tablespoons butter.
• Spoon sauerkraut mixture into large shallow bowl. Top with pierogies. Serve with sour cream.
