Pierogi

Seen them several times on TV, and was even lucky enough to try a few at a tailgate one time, courtesy of a Polish family that just happened to be parked next to us.

They were unreal.

They were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives last night, and it got me craving them.


Anywhere to get them in Louisville? If not, anyone got any great recipes to attempt them at home?

Adrian, I'm not aware of any local restaurant that serves them. In fact, I don't recall there ever being a Polish restaurant in Louisville. I'm pretty sure there was a forum discussion about buying them frozen, brands and such ... try searching on the word, or later when I get a break I'll look and post a link in this thread.

Monkey Wrench has them. You can get em prepared a couple different ways but my favorite is the version tossed with chorizo and onions.

Monkey Wrench has them.

Thanks, Ryan! I completely forgot about that.

Here's that earlier Pierogis thread:

Ok...seems we are going to have to try to make a trip to Monkey Wrench some time soon. Everyone keeps saying they have alot of our favorite things.

I'm too lazy to make them from scratch, but I like the ones in the frozen section at groceries--if you ever want to have them at home. I pretty much have to have perogies when I make cabbage.

I adore the Monkey Wrench, but their perogies are fried too crisp for my liking.

The Food Network show "Down Home with the Neelys" featured a meal centered around peirogies a few weeks ago. One of the side dishes was kielbasa and sauerkraut. They cooked the sauerkraut with a little butter and sugar. We fixed that at home after seeing the show and we were amazed at how good it was.

I drain and rinse my kraut. Then I dice a Granny Smith apple up and cook it in it. You'd be amazed how it goes well with the sausage and kraut.

My pierogis usually just get the sauteed with thin sliced onions in lots of real butter gig.
