I needed a good excuse to try out some new recipes. Here's what happened:
Pierogies (potato and onion)
Make potato and onion filling - boil potatoes like for mashed. Fry onions separately. Mix with mashed potatoes (butter, milk, salt, black and cayenne pepper, cumin)
Pre-made dough circles - put filling in, dab egg white on edges so the dough stays closed, and pinch it together using the red form.
Boil or fry (or both). Serve with sour cream.
Every meal needs a complimentary beverage. Eastern Europe has Compote - a mixture of fruits boiled and dressed in water. I stuck with dried fruit only in 8 cups of water.
- prunes
apricots
- berry mix
- cranberries
- dates (few, with pits)
- strawberries
I added all ingredients to water and brought it to a boil. Then simmered uncovered for ~20-30min. Added lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon to taste. Let cool. Transfered to a carafe (filtered). I added a couple of engorged apricots to the final vessel for looks.
