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.

HOME MADE PIEROGIES WITH CARAMELIZED ONION

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Pour in the olive oil, warm water and beaten egg. Mix well with a fork or pastry blender. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball. Cover with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into thirds and roll out onto floured surface to 1/8" thickness. With 3" cutter or glass, cut out circles.
• Fill each circle with a Tablespoon of sauerkraut. Fold over and seal edges with the tines of a fork dipped in flour.
• Fill a medium stockpot with water and add 1 Tbsp. salt. Bring to a boil and drop pierogies in (I like to work with 5 to 6 at a time). Let boil for two to three minutes. When pierogies float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels. If you plan on freezing them, place on a cookie sheet in a single layer and freeze for one hour. Remove from freezer and place in freezer containers or gallon freezer bags. These will keep for 6 to 9 months frozen and will need to be thawed for at least 30 minutes before browning.
• Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pierogies and brown. Turn and brown the other side. Keep warm.
• Melt the 1/4 cup of butter in the skillet and add the onions.
• Saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and soft. Add the 1/8 cup of wine to deglaze the pan.
• Serve pierogies topped with caramelized onions. This recipe makes 30 pierogies.
