Here is another recipe I stumbled upon out of necessity. I travel a lot and don't often get a chance to cook things where I am so while at home, I found some left over beef and onions from the night before and using this recipe made some delicious pierogi. You will need:
- 1 cup buckwheat (use a coffee grinder to grind the groats if you don't have access to flour)
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbs. olive oil
- 1-2 tbs. water
- already cooked meat and/or vegetables
I find that the dough gets kind of dry so you can butter or oil the outside as you cook it to prevent it from cracking too much. I sometimes also add cream cheese or butter to the meat mixture to give it more moisture. I have never fried mine, but you can also try that since traditionally pierogi are fried. And don't forget you can also add spices to the dough to give it more flavor.
These make excellent lunches (almost like hot pockets) for when I travel that are quick and easy to make and eat. Enjoy!
