Because of the large immigration that happened in Brazil it is not uncommon to see families preparing dishes from various countries in the world. Today I will teach you a Polish recipe that my family cooks: Pierogi.
Pierogi is largely popular in the South of Brazil, where most Polish immigrants have taken root, besides being found at Polish family gatherings this delicious dish is also sold in typical Brazilian street fairs.
This famous dumpling can have salty or sweet filling, like for example Sauerkraut, cheese, mushrooms, spinach, strawberries, peach, apple etc but the most popular one is mashed potato with ricotta and fried onion.
Ingredients:
(for the dough)
- 1 kg of wheat flour
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp of salt
(for the filling)
- 1 kg of ricotta
- 1 kg of potatoes
- Salt
- Parsley
Directions:
(for the filling)
Cook the potatoes and once it is done mash them with a fork. Add the ricotta and mix it until it is creamy. Add the salt and the parsley and mix it a little bit more. Set it aside.
(for the dough)
In a large bowl, add the eggs, flour and olive oil and mash until the dough is smooth. Using a roll, open the dough like a cake. Cut the dough, add the filling and model it by passing a fork at the edges. Cook in about two litters of boiling water for five minutes.
