Spinach pierogi are a savory and satisfying variation of the traditional Polish dumpling. These delicious pockets of soft dough are filled with a mixture of fresh spinach, cheeses, and aromatic garlic, making them perfect for vegetarians or anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful dish. Pierogi can be served in a variety of ways—either boiled and topped with sour cream or fried in butter for a crispy, golden finish.
Ingredients:
. For the Dough:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
. For the Spinach Filling:
2 cups fresh spinach (or frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese or farmer’s cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Tips for Success:
Fresh or frozen spinach: Either fresh or frozen spinach works for the filling, but if using frozen spinach, ensure all excess water is squeezed out to avoid a soggy filling.
Rest the dough: Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes. This makes it more elastic and easier to roll out.
Seal the edges well: Make sure the edges of the pierogi are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during boiling or frying.
