Perogies are pockets of dough, filled with virtually any imaginable filling. Traditional perogies are usually stuffed with: potato, cheese, meat, sauerkraut and fruit fillings.

Even though perogies are considered to be Eastern European, the roots of perogies go as far away as China, where they are known as Won-Tons, Potstickers and Dumplings.

 

It is also believed that the Italian ravioli also came from China and after its introduction to Europe, the Polish and the Ukrainians where quick to pick up on this tasty treat. In Russia, a Perogy is called “Varenik”, and meat perogies are called “Pelmeni”.

Perogies are versatile and can be:

  • served boiled, sautéed, or deep fried.
  • served as an appetizer, an entree or a dessert (sweet cheese or fruit).
  • eaten plain, with your favorite sauce, or with sour cream.

    • Parents also love Perogies. They make an excellent choice for a healthy, after school snack alternative to junk food.
