Thursday night was Pierogi Night at the HAP House, in order to fill our Daring Cooks’ Challenge!
The August 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by LizG of Bits n’ Bites and Anula of Anula’s Kitchen. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make pierogi from scratch and an optional challenge to provide one filling that best represents their locale.
We used a recipe for Potato Pierogis.
We put potatoes on to boil, then cut up an onion to saute.
I decided to add some zucchini to the onions, because we just had so much zucchini from Liz.
Corelyn started the pierogi dough, using cream cheese, flour, etc.
When the potatoes were done, I added cheese, and some salt/pepper, and mashed along merrily…adding onion/zucchini as I went…
Then it was time to put everything together…
Thank you, Corelyn, for touching the flour. You know I hate it…
Then we boiled the pierogis, and of course didn’t get any photos of THAT process. But here they are, done!
Of course there are no photos from the actual meal, because everyone ate quickly! And, Liz told me that I should have fried them after boiling (which was an option on the recipe I used, but didn’t seem to be a necessity) so the pierogis were a little slimy, not going to lie. Everyone seemed to like them though (even Jeff, who ate them with sauce!)
