Pierogi Ruskie recipe (Vegan)

in #veganuary6 years ago

image

Happy foodfightfriday, I got to use my Christmas present from my mother in law, it is a pierogi maker. This version of pierogi is meant to be made from cheese 🧀 so I had to veganize it, in the spirit of Veganuary. Instead of using cheese 🧀 I used tofu and yeast flakes, and it tasted quite close to the real thing.

It is really easy to make the dough, basically just 600g flour and boiling water with a pinch of salt, mixing it really well and kneading the dough. I used holemeal spelt flour, but the original recipe uses plain flour, I am trying to make it a little healthier

For the filling I pretty much just mixed up onions, garlic, tofu, and yeast flakes with mash and loads of pepper, the pepper gives it it's distinctive taste.

Ingredients for filling

280g tofu
4 potatoes
2 large onions
6 garlic cloves
Half a cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 teaspoon hole grain mustard paste
A large pinch of pepper
Pinch of salt

First tofu block crumbled up.

Then chopped up onions.

Garlic

image

Pepper, salt and mustard

image

Yeast flakes

image

And lastly the mash and mix it up real good.

image

Once that was done I rolled out the dough.

image

Brought out my fancy pierogi maker.

image

It is a cutter on one side to cut out the pierogi pieces

image

Then it is just a matter of dumping some filling in the machine and folding them.

image

You meant to dump them into boiling water and wait for them to float, there is a risk that they will open up, and that is why I steam them instead.

image

It takes about 15 minutes to steam, then I put them on a tray.

image

The original recipe you are meant to fry them with onion and bacon 🥓, so I baked them instead to reduce oil. I chopped up some onions.

image

I Made some vegan bacon with tofu, liquid smoke and soy sause.

image

And chucked it on the pierogi and baked for half an hour.

image

And that is how it's done, it is also not too bad making it with out the machine, I made a blog about it with out a machine a little while before but with a different filling. Here is a link if you want to see how to do it without a machine. https://steemit.com/fruitsandveggiesmonday/@gguy773/golabki-and-pierogi-with-wild-mushrooms-6726f49984314

So good! I used to make empanadas with my friend that would end up looking like those. Another great recipe @gguy773. Good God, I don’t think I’ve ever seen upwards of 2000 upvotes… bravo friend 👏👏

Thanks, I haven't tried empanadas before, something new I can try perhaps.

They’re great! The trick is in making the dough, but you’d have no problem with that.

Amazing post @gguy773, looks like you had the best christmas with the cooking of your mom 😄

Congratulations @gguy773!
