Perogies: The Aimless Cook

Perogies are a common Canadian comfort food that was brought over by the Ukrainian and Polish. They are basically a simple flour dumpling filled with potato and cheese. Perogies are huge in places like Edmonton and Winnipeg where there is a huge community of Polish and Ukrainians.

I never realized how easy perogies are to make, and in today's episode, we will be giving them a little organic twist. We will be using spelt flour for the dough and a wonderful Canadian feta cheese for the filling. We bought all these great ingredients at the local farmer's market. So I hope you're ready to get your hands dirty because it's time to make perogies!

Hello. Pyrogy are common to many cultures around the old soviet union.....Polish, Ukranian, Hungarian, Mennonite, Etc,,,, perogy is a bastardiazed pronuciation of the Ukrainian pyrohy....whuch sounds like pudda-haya when said by somebody else. So it became a perogy. The Polish pronunciaiton (I suspect, but unsure) is pee-ROW-gi. So we can get perogy out that way, too. Actually, Who the flip cares? They are REALLY GOOD !!!!

I love my Canadian friends, but it's POLISH!!! PIEROGI!! I grew up with tons of Russian, Polish and Hungarians in our town....Lot's of great ethnic foods. When I think of Canada though, I think of Poutine!!!

I like to call them PROROGIES in true Canadian style ;). You should also sear them before plating...adds a beautifully crisp exterior.
