Delicious homemade pierogi filled with tangy sauerkraut and earthy mushrooms, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Sauerkraut
  • 1 cup Mushrooms
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • to taste Black pepper
  • for serving Sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook until softened. Stir in sauerkraut and season with black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a round cutter or glass.
  6. Place a spoonful of the sauerkraut and mushroom filling in the center of each circle. Fold and seal the edges tightly.
  7. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pierogi in batches and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the top.
  8. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain briefly. Optionally, pan-fry in a skillet with a little butter until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • You can freeze uncooked pierogi for later use. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients.
