What are pierogies?

Pierogi are filled dumplings made from unleavened dough and stuffed with a variety of fillings before being boiled in water and then pan-fried before eating.

The exact origins of pierogi have been a long-debated subject. They appear in history through Central and Eastern Europe with strong roots in Polish and Italian cuisines. Other legends cite the dumplings travelling into Europe via the Silk Road from China.

Are pierogi vegan?

Yes, pierogies can be made fully plant-based, but this doesn’t mean that they always are. Sometimes egg is used in the dough and the fillings can occasionally include cheese or quark.
