Dumplings of all kinds (Pierogi included) are so common across cultures. Won tons, pot stickers, pierogi! Bring em! nom nom nom nom…..
My grand parents came from Poland & coming from a Polish mother, pierogi's were always a staple in our home. I will give you the best pierogi dough recipe you can ever have . Very similar to yours. The dough will always be moist after being cooked & it will roll beautiful also.
3 Cups flour (all purpose)
1 large sour cream
2 lg.eggs,
salt.
Amazing demonstration ladies! Thank you!
Frank's. My hill to die on. NGL…I am local to them. But absolutely think that's the superior brand.
These look delicious! When I first saw them, I thought they looked more like pelmeni than peroshki. (My mother's family is from Russia, so slightly different names for things, but pretty much the same concept.) Boiling them is definitely more like pelmeni, or Slavic ravioli! I make them slightly bigger (fit in your hand like a hand-held meat pie), then bake them, or even better, deep fry them. I fill them with cooked ground beef, onion, cabbage, and chopped hard boiled egg, sometimes with left-over mashed potatoes to stretch the recipe.) I'll be trying your recipe soon, though! That caramelized onion looks so good to toss them in!
I am Polish but I never had potato and cheddar piegori
Don't forget about tamale torture LOL. I would always get asked to do the tedious tasks, everybody I worked with hating making spanakopita cuz of the filo dough I was the one that would be stuck making them, this was catering so it could be a couple hundred to a couple thousand. I now have muscle and nerve damage I'd have a problem doing a batch, I also deal with severe pain so I would get fed up with it now. I started watching you guys when I was little, you were one of the influences that got me really into cooking knowing that's what I wanted to do. Instead of watching cartoons I'd be watching you guys and other cooking like Julia Child and dessert circus, I'd cook with my mom and dad and my grandparents. My dad and my grandpa had beautiful gardens that I would just be munching all the stuff as I picked it, one tomato for the basket one for joy one tomato for the basket two for joy. I have several of your cookbooks, I actually started collecting cookbooks and specialty cake pans in my early teens and I am still collecting them when I can at 41. Even though I got told I could never go back to my field by the occupational therapist and I definitely couldn't put up with the yelling and stress and heat of the kitchen anymore, I have a lot of health issues due to 12 years of DV. Barely made it out and had to learn how to walk again, I'll have issues for the rest of my life including severe PTSD. The baking is one of my therapies and I love sharing it with friends and family, when I was able to a couple years ago I bought myself a new Professional Series KitchenAid and it's the only way I can get baking done. I wish I could afford some of the attachments but unfortunately I'm not able to work and still fighting for disability. I'm so glad I can watch these on YouTube because the last six years we haven't had a TV, cooking shows and Shark Week are really the only thing I missed
Are you two the replacement for the 2 Fat Lady’s? Lol!!!
👌
That sauce is way too sweet for me!!
Doesn't he mean perogies are Cleveland Ohio inspired
Bryan looking like a snack today! Perogies look good, too. 😝
Always buy from a GLASS jar first, second lined can
I took 1 semester of Culinary Arts in 1991 at a community college “El Centro” in Dallas, TX. I can cook pretty good. In 2018 I stumbled across Cooks Country and America’s Test Kitchens. Watching you two lovely ladies, I have learned to cook even better. No more every week same chicken, pot roast, spaghetti dishes. I’ve now been inspired by the two of you and others on the show to create more tasteful meals that are even better then restaurant food. Now I, a restaurant junky, have been cooking more at home since 2018. Thank you to everyone on the show for teaching me better ways to cook. God bless you all.
Wish I could say really really really great in Polish!
Beautiful!
Salvage those onions back into the gravy😎
Will make both
The one addition I would add is that you need to lightly brown each side of the pierogis in a touch of olive oil over medium heat in a nonstick pan. Then you can combine them with the sautéed onions.
Your apples weren’t quite ripe yet; they were still green. Why did you use unripe apples?
The ultimate Pittsburgher’s New Year’s Day traditional dinner ❤️
This is so racist, where are the POC. ALL WHIT CAST???? Needs to be canceled. Sickening Filth. Where is the outrage? Silence is violence. Honeybees shipped in 1622. Lotsa a Black Slaves probably got stung. Anyone who watches this is a Racist. Reported to You Tube. Enjoy you Nazi filth.
Didn’t look quite done to me? Sounds good though
Oh, I miss this original theme song! The new one just doesn't feel as homey. Sure wish you would switch back to this one!
Excellent concept of a show. The cooking and stories, ideas and styles. Simply awesome 😁
I will try 😍😍👍
Usually I'm impressed with the food recipe demonstrations but this episode lacked basic historical knowledge on proper Polish pronunciations. Hearing them referred to incorrectly as pierogies was disappointing. The word Pierogi is already in plural form, the singular form of Pierogi is pierog.
need way more butter and onion for the pierogi 😉
Please tell me where to find that intro song! OMG I’m obsessed with that voice.
Why wouldn’t you cut the pork against the grain like you do beef?
I use Great Value kraut in a can for my brats and Reuben sandwiches
Lost me at sharp cheddar.
Farmers cheese.
Carrots go well with that !
Great show
I am Polish please do not use cheddar cheese use feta cheese instead ( it is closer to the traditional Polish farmer’s cheese)
