I randomly bought some pierogies a while ago and would like to use them up...but not sure what to actually do with them. Last time we had them many years ago, we just cooked them in a homemade tomato and veggie sauce....but I don't have that on hand right now! I clearly didn't plan this well!

    Depending on what the filling is, I usually just sautee them in some butter and onion slices and serve with sour cream.

    Boil them, let any excess water drip off, then sear them in a pan with a little olive oil. I serve mine with greek yogurt and diced sun-dried tomato and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Mmm!

    I have a polish friend who just boils them and then adds butter and s&p. She serves them as a side with a meat and usually sauerkraut............That all I got.

    i prefer mine the traditonal boiled method.. then instead of the traditional butter and S&P i just have them now with turkey garlic sausage sauted with low sodium saurkraut and apples.. yum!

    edited to add: A great additon to this meal is a blog of greek yogurt to replace the missing sour cream *S*

    I saute mine with onion and bell pepper most of the time. Sometimes I just pop them in the microwave and top with a little ranch. :smile:

    Butter and onions is classic and frankly they are pretty low in fat and calories for the treat they provide.

    My hubs likes his boiled, I like mine sauteed in butter and garlic..But we usually just boil them. :( I don't like them much from the box [bag?] though.

    WE have them all the time and we just boil them for about 7 minutes. Then drain and if you want mix a little butter/marg in so they don't stick together. Serve them with light/ff sour cream or cream gravy. For cream gravy you melt marg/butter in a skillet and add flour to make a roux. Then add milk or cream (I use 1% milk) and whisk until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Usually I serve pierogies with sausage and steamed veggies. If you have left overs, fry them in a little oil the next day.

    lol there was a recipe I was following when it came to the whole tomato sauce dinner and we probably haven't had it again since then because it was just a little weird for us.

    Hmm....well I believe they are potato and chedder....and actually I do have some leftover chicken from last night so I can always serve them with that...and a veggie....well that works out well actually! lol I'm definately going to pan fry them up though to get em crispy..yummm

    (Sorry if this is a duplicate post - seems to have disappeared.)

    I usually like pirogies w/ either fried onions or applesauce. Perhaps the applesauce would be nice - you know how some people add cheddar cheese to their apple pie crusts??

    Enjoy! :tongue:

    I actually make them homemade every year for my family for xmas....They are actually pretty easy and I stuff them with my own ideas...that is what makes them fun :)

    We've made them with cheesy potato, spinach and feta, mushroom and ground beef/turkey, sun dried tomato and potato....and sometimes pizza style with peperoni and sauce.

    If you are interested in the recipe to make them homemade let me know :)

    Maybe it is a Vermont thing because I too like cheddar cheese with my warm apple pie.

    I spray them with olive oil and put to bake in the oven at 400C. Then flip after 10 minutes to cook the other side.
