Ingredients
- 1 pint sour cream
- 5 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound soft farmers cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 whole egg
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- For the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, flour, butter, 2 whole eggs, egg yolk, 2 teaspoons salt and olive oil. Knead the mixture into a soft dough. Divide the dough in half and cover for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll each half of the dough into a thin circle, 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough using a 3-inch circle cutter. For the filling: Season the beef with salt and pepper. In a saute pan, render the ground beef for 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-lined plate. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, ground beef, shallots, garlic, green onion and egg. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle of dough and fold over. Press and seal into half-moon shapes. Use a little water to seal the pierogi’s. In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pierogi for 8 minutes, or until they float. Remove from the water and drain. In a saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Sear the pierogi for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan. The pierogi will need to be sauteed in batches. Arrange the pierogi’s on a platter. Garnish with parsley and serve with sour cream.

This is very good and Polish pierogis are very tasty with different stuffing even with fruits (blueberry,strawberry with topping sour cream whipped with sugar on top)
Great recipe, BUT WE POLISH PEOPLE would like you to pronounce this correctly….pier-rug-e….accent on the rug!
