Polish Pierogi

[Guest guest]

Ashley was asking for some ravioli recipes, and I thought this could work just

fine. It can be made in advance, and the fillings store for about a week.

After filling and boiling the pierogi's can be frozen, but I am not sure for how

long at the moment. I just found this website and I never tried this recipe

yet. I hope that everyone will like this.

Polish Pierogi

 

Recipe By : Friendly Foods Magazine

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :1:30

Categories : Ethnic Pasta

Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon liquid lecithin -- warm

2 cups stoneground whole-wheat flour

1 cup unbleached flour

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

10 1/2 ounces firm silken tofu

1/2 cup water

Pierogi Filling -- see recipe

Vegan Sour Cream -- see recipe

 

Warm the lecithin by placing the bottle in simmering water on the stove until

the lecithin is runny. Stir the lecithin into the flours and the salt, and set

aside. Blend the vinegar, tofu and water until smooth. Combine this with the

flour mixture, stirring or handling until the dough has a medium-stiff

consistency.

 

Roll out the dough on a floured board, forming a 12 " x 6 " rectangle, about

3/16-inch thick. Cut into 8 equal pieces, about 3 " x 3 " each. (Rolling the

dough a little thinner will yield an additional 3 pieces.) Place about 1-1/2

tablespoons of filling on one half of each piece. Wet the edges of the dough.

Stretch one corner of the piece to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle,

and press the edges together, sealing the pierogi completely.

 

Bring water to a simmer in a large pot. Drop the pierogi carefully in the

water. Cook the pierogi in the simmering water until they rise to the surface.

Remove and drain. At this point, you can wrap the pierogi in plastic wrap,

sealing them well, and refrigerate them for later use. They also can be frozen

at this point.

 

To serve the pierogi, sauté them in oil until lightly browned. Serve with Vegan

Sour Cream.
