How to make Pierogi Ruskie - Polish Dumplings

[@agatawitecka886]

It's nice to see that you make a Polish classic like: Russian dumplings( Pierogi Ruskie not from Russia 😉 ). probably the most popular and liked dumplings except dumplings with meat. As a Polish woman, I will tell you the secret to a real, delicious stuffing for dumplings: boiled, beaten, cooled potatoes, fatty white cheese (farmer cheese or cottage cheese), the proportions can be half and half. fried onion, a pinch of dried mint for better digestion and, of course, salt and pepper. great taste I recommend Nagi. greetings from Ireland 💚😗

[@ob8620]

Just curious, why are they called russkie? Pierogi are polish!

[@agatawitecka886]

@@ob8620 It all started in the territories of Red Ruthenia, which included northwestern Ukraine and southeastern Poland. It is from this historical land that Russian dumplings get their name. Therefore, it is mistakenly associated with Russia, where we cannot find this delicacy. Not to be confused with Ukrainian dumplings, because it's a little different... best regards 😊

I tried making pierogis a few months back because I was fascinated by the simple yet delicious-looking dish. I added some homemade cottage cheese, which we call 'chhana' in Bengali and fried onions, just as you suggested here. White onions are not readily available here. So I had to use red onions. It was one of the best and most satisfying meals I have ever had compared to the effort I had to put In. :)

[@apple8665]

In Poland we use cottage cheese instead of normal one, also is called Ruskie becouse of the region in Poland not becouse its Russian :)

[@Tantomare]

What part of Poland is called Rus?

[@Heimarbeit666]

Nagi I love most your recipes but cheddar cheese is just wrong. It's also not quark (which is basically strained yoghurt). Pendle cheese factory in too gabbie makes farm style cottage cheese - which is fairly firm/dry - it's perfect. Using an aged cheese like cheddar is just wrong.

Ruskie actually means “Ruthenian”. The origins of the dish’s name actually lie not in Russia but in Ruthenia, a historical region that spans what is now western Ukraine and southeastern Poland.

[@victoriatalalajew6119]

Yes, but my grandmother, who was born in Poland always called them Polskië Pieroghies. 😊

[@ilovetoeat2242]

As a Russian, no one takes pierogi from you. We have varenniki, which is the same thing Just a naming issue anyway

[@kisutis]

@@ilovetoeat2242 we have the same in my country but smaller size and different name. I think the whole region has same or very similar meals

[@meatwad1]

If some of you would like to save some money, you can use an empty 12-oz tuna can to cut circles in the dough. That's what I use. I have one of those can openers that cuts the top off of a can instead of just cutting a hole in the top of it. It leaves you with a smooth surface around the top of a can that won't cut your fingers. This makes slightly larger pierogies but, to me, that's a good thing. It's less time-consuming to make 30 large pierogies than 45 small ones.

[@nilabakery]

The way you incorporate different techniques and flavors really sets this recipe apart. You've definitely elevated my cooking game! 👌👌🤗🥰

[@rchuyck]

I love pierogi's, can be filled with most anything, we add sauerkraut to the filling at times. Thanks for posting this!

These look delicious. I will try making them. But will add sautéed scallions on top before eating. And definitely have sour cream on the side. Yum!!

Pierogi definitely needs cottage cheese, that's what makes them special and tastes so good :). But definitely this version looks tasty ❤

Adding an egg to the pierogi dough makes it firmer. All you need is flour, salt, oil and hot water. And, of course, we use cottage cheese, not yellow cheese 😅

Fantastic thank you for sharing ❤

[@peejayfromhell]

Heh, im a Pole and ive never made them myself, nor i eat those nowadays. Had way too many of those at Uni, since its basically the cheapest student food :) Oh and about the filling -it is not being made with cheddar or any other hard/semi hard cheese. It always contains quark, a type of fresh cheese thats probably available only in Europe. Its more or less similiar to cottage cheese

[@kisutis]

True :) it’s always quark (cottage cheese) inside, cheddar is invention of this channel :)

[@toochaotic7752]

Traditionally with quark or similar, but my Mum has been adding tasty cheese (in addition to the quark) for many years. It gives it a bit more flavour.

[@peejayfromhell]

@@kisutis I've seen plenty of American recipes for Ruskies that had Cheddar in it before. I think cottage cheese would be a better substitute, but it is not the same thing though, it lacks the specific tang quark has so the final flavor is going to be a bit different

[@peejayfromhell]

@@toochaotic7752 yeah, I guess nothing wrong with adding more flavor. Back in the 70's the real hard cheese was a delicacy here, so those pierogis are basically made from the most available indigrients back then. Quark, flour and potatos. The simplest hearthy and filling meal with decent amount of protein, since quark has even more protein than cottage cheese.

[@kisutis]

@@peejayfromhell yes you can add anything.. but my favourites are with potato filling and sour cabbage with mushrooms (or without).

Good to lean the method, but I overwhelmingly prefer the cabbage/sour cream ones. I think the potato ones actually need the extra flavor of aged, sharp cheese. Too bland otherwise, imo

@recipetineats Nagi!! The irony- I came on KZbin to search up a recipe (betting you'd have one for sure) for Okonomiyaki and scrolled down the results looking for a post I hoped you might have out, only to come across the algorithm bringing up your result as pierogi! The irony in this polish woman looking for a Japanese recipe from a Japanese born food blogger (only the best on the planet, might I add) only to find a polish recipe! Sure I could've gone to your website to search it but since I found you on KZbin, my hang out place, this is where I've been watching your content of late and where I've been getting inspired. I'm happy to go ahead with my cookidoo recipe today but would it be possible for you to post a Okonomiyaki recipe please. I love your blogs as they give great advice about which Australian ingredients to use and I got a bit stuck in my current recipe when coming across dashi... doesn't look like a local woolies or Coles has one in my area so I may have to order online for future use. I will search for my pantry for miso even tho it's not the same, I know. The search results for dashi has come up with many dashi containing a lot of msg. Is there a available dashi powder without the MSG?

[@poweredbycinnamonmocha]

Kombu or dried kelp bloomed in water is a sub for dashi. Put a palm sized piece in a jug of water n keep in the fridge and use whenever u need! Btw msg is not so harmful as it was misinformed back in the days 😉

[@jamming8519]

I don't have that kind of time. I think I'll just buy the Pierogis!

[@PinkyWOW]

You will certainly notice the difference in taste when making your own. I wouldn’t follow this recipe though. Search for authentic pierogi recipes. Make a big batch, they freeze well! Our family fills with two types of filling. First batch is potato mash and bacon. Second batch ground beef with onion and spices. Soooo yummy!

Seems like a lot of work for little food. I'll just cook some egg fried rice for myself instead.

[@peejayfromhell]

It is. Only really old people make those themselves, everyone else just buys those frozen/refrigerated or grabs them at a bar (most of the times it will be the cheapest thing on the menu, unless uts some form of "hipster" bar that serves only pierogis)

[@toochaotic7752]

So the best thing to do is do a working bee. Get a group of 2 - 5 people, make a ton of them, freeze them and then you have them ready to heat at any time. We did just that two weekends ago: 3 different fillings and mushroom tortellini. Made 400 plus over a day and a half. Enough to keep three households in pierogi for months.
