Traditionally, pierogis are served with caramelized onions, bacon bits, and/or a dollop of sour cream. How do you know when pierogies are cooked? Once they float to the top of the boiling water, the pierogis are fully cooked.
Pierogi can be sweet, savory, or spicy, and the most common fillings include cheese, onions, ground meat, mushrooms, potatoes, and sauerkraut. The sweet versions commonly include various berries, such as strawberries or blueberries. Traditionally, these dumplings are served as the 12th course of a traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner.
Perogies can also be served with steamed veggies. These veggies can be prepared with 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter, 1 small clove of finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated lime peel, 1 teaspoon of finely chopped serrano, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 3 cups of cut-up fresh vegetables.
Pierogi are traditionally served sauteed in melted butter with onions or bacon in a large skillet. Frozen perogies are often warmed first in simmering water to thaw. Simply heat some water to a low boil in a large pot, and remove them with a slotted spoon when you're ready to saute.
1. Bacon and Caramelized Onions Let's start with a traditional Polish topping. Cheese and potato perogies are usually topped with crisp and smoky bacon and sweet caramelized onions. This topping has a wonderful balance of sweet and savory and tastes amazing with the dumplings. To make: Fry bacon in a pan until crisp.
Traditionally pierogi are served with simple toppings: fried onions, lardons, melted butter, sour cream or pork rinds. These toppings may also be upgraded or replaced with more complicated sauces, as well as fresh herbs like parsley, chives, dill, mint, thyme, rosemary, tarragon or basil.
