Polish Dumplings with Potato, Cottage Cheese and Onions Filling (Pierogi Ruskie) with Carrot Apple Salad and Sour Cream
Polish cuisine: Polish Dumplings with Potato and Cottage Cheese Filling (Pierogi Ruskie) with Carrot Apple Salad and Sour Cream I miss having Polish food again! I made Polish meatballs (pulpety) in dill sauce with carrot apple salad and mashed potato last time. This time, I decided to make pierogi (filled dumplings). They're considered peasant food in Poland because of its simplicity and low-cost to make. However, I always look at pierogi like our shuijiao (Chinese boiled dumplings / 水餃 ) which is definitely not just for the peasants but for everyone. Pierogi ruskie consists of mashed potato, farmers' cheese and onions. I couldn't find any Polish farmers' cheese from where I live in Manchester so I used cottage cheese from local supermarket. Pierogi is usually served hot on its own or with sour cream. I added carrot apple salad too. The recipe was adapted from Polonist . Scroll down for the recipe.
