Savory Sight: Farmer Cheese Pierogi

We love coltkels's love and appreciation for Polish cooking and culture, and these homemade pierogi look and sound delicious.

My mom’s side of the family is Polish so each year we make pierogi and borsch. I’ve grown up making these every year and enjoying every part of the tradition. This tradition is one I don’t question but washing with silver on Christmas Eve for wealth is one I do, but of course you have to do it because to risk not getting that extra bit of luck because of skepticism is just now worth it. Simply put, we are Polish. We make cheese pierogi that the filling is made with farmer cheese and a kapusta filling which is made of sauerkraut and mushroom. The borsch is a mushroom borsch that had eight pounds of mushroom in it; yes you read right, eight pounds. The main ingredient in everything below is sour cream and of course butter. This is a Julia Child approved recipe because of the amount of butter we used.

For more pictures of Polish cooking, visit her blog, and share your culinary traditions in our Savory Sights community group.

Have You Tried Pierogi?

One can't go wrong with stuffed dumplings, be they potstickers, of the buttermilk variety, an apple-filled dessert, or ravioli.

One can't go wrong with stuffed dumplings, be they potstickers, of the buttermilk variety, an apple-filled dessert, or ravioli. Now you can add another delicious dough pouch to the list: pierogi. These Polish dumplings can be boiled, baked, or fried, and filled with anything from mashed potatoes and cheese to fresh fruit. Savory-style pierogi are often topped with onions or fried bacon bits — no complaints here! Have you had them before? What's your favorite preparation?

by Even though the food pictured below wasn't on my list of regional American foods to try this July, this roll — which for many years was a New York City-specific specialty — has the potential to be any carbohydrate-lover's dream. Originally created in Poland, it made the voyage over to the States in the late 1800s. Do you know what it's called?

Monday's Leftovers: Warm Kielbasa and Lentil Salad

In Poland, pork sausage — like yesterday's leftover kielbasa — is traditionally served with fried onions, sautéed pierogi dumplings, or potatoes, but if you're looking for something that's a little lighter, consider an unusual kielbasa and lentil salad.

Here, the kielbasa is drained of most of its fat, combined with tender lentils and skillet-browned fennel, tossed in a mustard vinaigrette, and served with crunchy frisée leaves. Make this nutritious salad alternative when you read more

Sunday Slow Cooker: Kielbasa Stew

Make the most of the rest of your weekend by playing hooky and celebrating the luck of the Irish rather than laboring over a Sunday meal.

Make the most of the rest of your weekend by playing hooky and celebrating the luck of the Irish rather than laboring over a Sunday meal.

Using cooked pork sausage not only cuts down on your meat prep time, but it also provides a satisfyingly smoky depth to the other elements of the stew, such as carrots, cabbage, and chicken broth.

My girlfriends are always asking for recipe recommendations, but they have pretty high demands. They usually want something that's effortless, delicious, healthy, comforting, and inexpensive all at the same time. Thankfully, with the help of one reader, I know what my next suggestion will be.

According to TeamSugar member mellie_608, it's debatable whether these golumpki are Swedish or Polish, but what can be agreed upon is that these stuffed cabbage rolls — seasoned with tomatoes, lemon, Worcestershire sauce, and a tad of brown sugar for sweetness — are incredibly juicy and tender. To see the recipe, which calls for the use of a slow cooker, read more

Casa Quickie: Furniture Polish in a Pinch

Tired of using harsh cleansers on your furniture?
by

Tired of using harsh cleansers on your furniture? Sick of that pine scent? Then whip up a batch of your own furniture polish using some very simple household items.

Just squeeze the juice from a lemon and mix with three tablespoons af water and two tablespoons of olive oil. Pour this mixture in a bottle and shake well. Make sure to only make a small batch, though, since the olive oil may become rancid if left in the bottle for too long.
