Pierogi

Pronounced ‘puh-row-gee’ this dish has multiple spellings, including pierogie, perogie, or perogy. Any way you spell it, pierogi (which is actually plural but we do still call them pierogies) is one of Poland’s greatest dishes and an eastern European favorite. Simply made by filling a flour-based dough with a variety of sweet or savory fillings like blueberries, cottage cheese, or even sauerkraut. They are boiled in water until they float and then pan-fried until golden brown.
