POLISH PIEROGIES WITH CABBAGE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine butter with 1/3 of the water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add remaining water.

Add fresh mushrooms and onions and cook for another 10 minutes. Mix cream and potato starch in a cup; add to mushrooms. Bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roll about 1/4 of the dough out on a floured surface about 1/16-inch thick, and cut rounds about 3 1/2-inches across using a cookie cutter or a glass. Add leftover dough to the next 1/4 dough and repeat process.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of cabbage filling in the center of each dough round, fold over into a half-moon shape, and press and seal the edges with a fork. Set the filled pierogies aside under a towel to prevent drying.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and carefully drop about 15 pierogies at a time into the boiling water. Boil in simmering water until they float to the top, about 5 to 10 minutes. Cook remaining pierogies the same way in batches.

FRESH CABBAGE PIEROGI RECIPE

Steps:

• Put flour, egg, oil, and salt into the bowl. Whisk it together with hand or dough hook attachment.
• Start adding the water slowly, letting it incorporate before adding more.
• Whisk until all the ingredients are incorporated and there are no lumps.
• Wash, and finely chop the cabbage (be sure to throw away the core).
• Add a bit of water and cook the cabbage until soft.
• When the cabbage is soft, drain it off.
• Finely chop the onions and fry it with a bit of oil until it's caramelized and soft.
• Mix the cooked cabbage and onions together.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the dough into the 2 or 3 pieces.
• Thinly roll each piece out onto a floured surface to just under 1/16 - 1/8" thickness.
• Use a round cookie cutter to cut the circles from the dough.
• Put the cabbage filling in the center of each circle. The more filling, the better, however, you need to be sure it stays inside pierogi. When the filling will get between the dough when sealing, pierogi may fall apart during the cooking.
• Pull the edges of each circle together to form pierogi. Make sure the seal is continuous and intact. You can't leave any free space, as pierogi will fall apart during the cooking. Pinch tightly.
• Collect the remaining dough scraps and put them to the other 2 dough pieces. Repeat the process until the entire dough and all the filling is used.
• Pour the water into the big pot. Add 2 pinches of salt. Boil.
• Gently throw pierogi, one by one into the boiling water.
• When they start floating, wait for a minute and take them out with the slotted spoon.
• Pour the melted butter or lard on top.
