  • Poles love pierogi. Their version of dumplings is by far the most popular comfort food in Poland and can be found everywhere in all sorts of variations. We traveled to Warsaw to find out how authentic pierogi are made, to learn about different recipes, and to find out why mushrooms play such a big role in Poland.

    Sadly, it seems that subtitles did not convey all that Maria was saying quite precisely. Most importantly, she mentioned that the dough is done kneading when it does not stick to your fingers anymore (otherwise, making the frills would be next to impossible).
    Also, the pierogi she is making are quite elaborate, the shared pierogi tradition of what is modern-day Poland, Ukraine and Belarus was mostly about quite simple fillings, like the "Ruthenian pierogi", with curd cheese and potato filling, inexpensive and available all year round. Sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi are considered a Christmas specialty, as not only you need some time for the cabbage to ferment, but also because in Poland, the big Christmas meal is the Christmas Eve dinner, still during lent, and thus meat-free (but with ample fish).
    BTW, the singular form of "pierogi" is "pieróg", try "Pierre-oog" if you will. You cannot have "one pierogi", unless you mean one serving of several pieces, much like you cannot have "one tortellini", but rather "tortellino".

      You should try them. If you don't have the chance to buy them, do it once at home. The ingredients are not hard to get. The only ingredient that possibly will be hard to get is the cheese "twaróg" for the pierogi ruskie, but you can replace it with a similar one and the outcome will be similar.

      The lady first chef is talking nonsense! The dough for our dumplings is just flour, water and salt! Under communism, people got confused. They started using additives such as eggs, butter, oil, cream, etc. The egg hardens the dough! It is traditionally used in Italian ravioli or Russian pelmeni, which take longer to cook. Thanks to such morons, Magda Gessler(outstanding Polish restaurateur, guardian of Polish culinary tradition) will run her TV show until her death.

      Yeah, there were many superstitious beliefs about mushrooms being a sort of vessels for Satan to communicate through (which is a very weird association but probably has its origins in the fact that some mushrooms have slightly narcotic and toxic properties). It's a shame because mushrooms are very healthy and should be eaten all year round. That is also the reason why some mushrooms have "Satanic" names, e.g. the Satan's bolete.

    Well, the nice lady have no polish accent at all, more east one, so no wonder, she dont know real Pierogi. No one in a Polish (other in Ukraine in Russland) home will add eggs to pierogi dough, because everyone in Poland knows that real pierogi dough has nothing to do with pasta.
    Besides, rather Warsaw restaurants, and not only Warsaw restaurants, have nothing to do with traditional, original Polish cuisine, they are rather geared towards tourists in my opinion.
    In the recipe shown here, I immediately see more than one error: the flour is not 450, but 405. No eggs are added! And it's no secret, they harden the dough, thicken it, so less stuffing goes inside and you pay in the restaurant for the dough and not for the stuffing. another mistake, in stuffing with mushrooms, as in any other, there should be no mush or puree, it is completely forbidden and not Polish.
    I am disappointed that so many programs are made about this specific and very delicious dish, in which untruths are shown, also by Poles, because people from outside Poland are not surprised that they have no idea and end up trying a poor copy of the original.
