PAPRIKA CHICKEN STEW WITH POTATO PIEROGIES

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pierogies.
• Meanwhile, place a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add the bacon and cook until just brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the skillet with the bacon, and brown all sides, 7-8 minutes. Add the onions, carrots, garlic, paprika, cumin, marjoram or oregano, and bay leaf and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the veggies are just tender.
• Make a well in the middle of the pan and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the flour to the olive oil and mix to form a paste. Add the wine (or 1/2 cup chicken broth), scraping up all of the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add 2 cups chicken stock and the tomatoes and cook for about 20 minutes, until the stew has thickened. Stir in the sour cream and remove from the heat.
• While the stew is cooking, cook the pierogies in boiling water according to the package directions. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and cook until the butter turns slightly brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Drain the cooked pierogies, add them to the pan, and cook until slightly browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chives and turn the pierogies to coat.
• Serve the stew in large bowls, sprinkled with lemon zest and parsley. Arrange 2-3 pierogies on top of each bowl of stew.

POLISH KIELBASA AND PIEROGIES

Steps:

• On a cutting board, cut sausage links into 1-inch pieces; set aside.
• In a Dutch oven, cook pierogies according to package directions.
• Drain and keep warm.
• In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onion until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add sausage, continue to cook and stir until sausage is heated through and brown.
• Stir in prepared pierogies.
• Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
• Serve.

POTATO PIEROGIES

Steps:

• Sift flour, mix with salt, butter and eggs.
• Add warm milk to make a soft dough.
• Roll out dough on floured surface.
• Roll to about 1/8 inch thickness.
• Cut in 2inch squares.
• Put 1 t filling on each.
• Fold in 1/2 to make a triangle.
• Pinch edges.
• Drop into boiling water until they float.
• Drain.
• Fry briefly in the butter.

QUARK AND POTATO PIEROGIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/2 tsp salt, water, sour cream and egg. You may need to add a little extra water if the dough seems too dry, or some extra flour if the dough is too sticky to handle.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface (I find silicon baking mats work amazingly well for this), and knead it for a few minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Roll the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate it while you prepare the filling.
• Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are soft. Drain off the water.
• Add the Quark and butter to the hot potatoes and mash until mixture is smooth. Add salt and white pepper to taste. Set mixture aside to cool while you roll out your dough.
• Divide dough in half, and roll out the first half of the dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into 3 inch circles with a round cookie cutter.
• Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the centre of each circle of dough. Fold the dough into a half moon shape around the filling, and firmly pinch edges closed, making sure the the filling does not prevent you getting a good seal.
• Set finished pierogies aside on a piece of parchment paper and repeat for the rest of the dough. Gather the extra scraps of dough from between your circles and reroll them for more wrappers.
• At this point you can either freeze the pierogies for later or boil them to eat now. To freeze the dumlings, put them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a plastic bag.
• To cook the pierogies, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and then add the perogies in batches - I wouldn't recomend any more the amount that could lie in a single layer at the bottom of the pot. Boil for 6-8 minutes, until dumplings are floating and dough is completely cooked. If you're not sure, cut a pierogies open and see if it looks cooked. To cook from frozen, put the frozen pierogies straight into the pot of boiling water, but add 2-4 minutes to the cooking time.
• Serve pierogies warm, with sour cream or fried onions if desired.

CHICKEN AND PAPRIKA STEW

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the paprika.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add onions and remainder of paprika and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes more. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in broth and thyme and simmer 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
• In a small bowl combine flour with sour cream. Reduce heat to low under the Dutch oven. Stir in the sour cream mixture and cook over low, to prevent curdling, about 5 minutes until thickened. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

ROASTED PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Tuck the wings under the chicken; tie legs together with a piece of kitchen twine. Rub with butter.
• In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, cayenne, and thyme. With dry hands, sprinkle chicken with spice mixture; don't rub. Place chicken in a cast-iron skillet.
• Bake until coating is blackened, 30 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil; continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees and juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove chicken, and let stand 5 minutes before carving. Pour pan juices into a glass measuring cup; skim fat from top. Strain, and serve sauce with chicken.

PAPRIKA PORK STEW

Steps:

• Place potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic in a slow cooker. Place pork on top of vegetables.
• Combine beef stock, tomato sauce, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, oregano, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl; pour into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on Low until pork is fork tender, 6 to 7 hours. Skim off fat and move meat and vegetables to one side of the cooker.
• Whisk cold water and flour together in a small bowl and pour into the empty space in the slow cooker. Stir to redistribute ingredients.
• Cover and cook on High until sauce has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

POTATO PIEROGIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg.
• Add the sour cream, and whisk until smooth.
• Add the milk and 1 cup water, and whisk until combined.
• Slowly add about 3 cups flour, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and work in about 1 cup flour as you knead.
• Use a plastic scraper to lift the dough as it will stick to the counter before the flour is worked in. Continue kneading for about 8 to 10 minutes, working in another 1/2 cup flour.
• The dough should be elastic and no longer sticky.
• Be careful not to add too much flour as this will toughen the dough.
• Place dough in a lightly floured bowl, and cover with plastic wrap; set aside while you prepare the filling.
• Cook potatoes in salted boiling water until fork-tender.
• Drain, and mash with a potato masher.
• Add melted butter and cheeses, and continue to mash until well-incorporated.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place a large pot of salted water over high heat, and bring to a boil.
• Lay a clean linen towel on your counter, and evenly distribute cornmeal on it to prevent sticking.
• On a floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
• Using a 2 1/2-inch-diameter glass or cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as possible.
• Gather dough scraps together, roll out again, and continue cutting.
• Form filling into 1 1/2-inch balls, and place a ball in the center of each dough circle.
• Holding a circle in your hand, fold dough over filling, and pinch the edges, forming a thoroughly sealed crescent.
• Transfer to linen towel.
• Continue until all dough circles are filled.
• Add pierogi to the boiling water in batches.
• They will sink to the bottom of the pot, then rise to the top.
• Once they rise, let them cook for about 1 minute more.
• Meanwhile, drizzle platter with melted butter.
• Remove pierogi from pot, and transfer to platter to prevent sticking.
• Serve immediately.
