A Tasty Day in the Kitchen

[sns2]

The older I get, the more important my Ukrainian/Polish ethnicity has become to me. Today, I got off my arse and made my very first batch of pyrohy (pierogi). I enjoyed the process, thought much of my Baba whom I named my daughter after, and gave thanks for all the sacrifices that strong woman made for our family. I made both cottage & dill, and sauerkraut with carrot, boiled, fried, and topped with bacon and onions, and sour cream. On Christmas dinner, I will make a mushroom sauce for them. Smachno!

SNS, how does that perogie rig work? Where did you get it?
They look fantastic by the way.

[MountainTi]

Filled and sealed many a perogy when I was a kid helping my Grandma. They were the best of course, but those look pretty damn good too!!

I don’t think I will use the jig next time. Doesn’t really save much time I don’t think. A tad fussy.

In the one bowl, is that cottage cheese and green onion. If so, that was my favorite. BEL

They look fantastic by the way.Roll one sheet. Lay it over the jig. Fill pockets with your filling. Roll a second sheet. Lay in top. Roll your pin back and forth and the dough pinches the lip around the border of the perogy opening, theoretically creating a seal. I find you still have to pinch the edges, and a bit of air gets caught when you lay the second sheet on top. Will be going to a simple glass to cut dough next time.

Your baba and babcha would be proud
Merry Christmas from a fellow puke

Looks great ....those look fantastic. The cabbage ones look amazing.

Ironically I was craving sour cabbage myself and my Mom just came from Calgary tonight to spend Christmas with us and brought some Cabbage rolls for Christmas eve dinner tomorrow - I can't wait.

Nothing like food from the old country. Great Job.

[58thecat]

Funny when you crave something then you just get a mindset that nothing is getting in the way kinda think we are part lab sometimes:)

[Sledhead71]

Looks incredible, have a rather large craving now. Merry Christmas to you and your family !

[javlin101]

Love the cottage cheese and onion boiled and then fried crispy in butter.

[traderal]

At our wedding reception just before blessing of the meal I had the servers bring out a large bowl of perogies and put it in front of the wife, should have seen her smile. She still laughs to this day about that memory.

[StiksnStrings]

Looks fantastic, I think I gained a couple of lbs just looking at the pictures.

[tirebob]

Love it bud! Brings back memories of mom and baba and my aunties as sitting around the table folding perogies! :)

[walker1]

They do look fantastic. I also see the stand mixer in background. I have one wrapped under the tree for the wife. Have a feeling I will benefit from my own generosity on that one!!!!
Expensive ( but saved 280 bucks on sale) but should last a long time and get great use. Pizzas next week and cinnamon rolls for a next day treat are in order.

[bessiedog]

Looks real real gooood my Uke brother.

Kids are going to make a batch with Baba this afternoon.

Should be a good time!


Nice job!!!!!

Stand mixers are worth their weight in gunpowder! When you need em, you need em. Your wife will love it.
