Ham And Pierogies Recipes

PIEROGI WITH HAM AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large broiler-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ham and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts browning, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer; cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the pierogi and broccoli. Cover and cook until the pierogi are warm and the broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, chives and paprika in a small bowl; set aside. Preheat the broiler.
• Uncover the skillet and sprinkle with the cheese. Transfer to the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and the pierogi are slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the sour cream sauce.

PIEROGIES STUFFED WITH GRUYERE AND HAM

Steps:

• For the mashed potatoes: In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, add the potatoes, garlic, sea salt and 1 quart cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Discard all but 1/2 cup water. Transfer the potatoes and garlic to a bowl. Add the cream and butter and use an immersion blender to create a mash; don't overblend. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
• For the pierogies: Mix 1 cup of the prepared mashed potatoes with the ham, Gruyere, 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. (Reserve any remaining mashed potatoes for another use.)
• Add the flour, egg, 1 tablespoon butter, sour cream, kosher salt and 1 cup cold water to a food processor. Mix the dough gently until it turns into a ball and let rest 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Cut out 3-inch rounds. Brush the dough with a bit of water, then add 2 teaspoons potato-ham mixture. Fold the dough in half and seal the edges with a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
• Fill a high-sided saute pan with salted water and bring to a simmer. Add the pierogies and gently simmer the pierogies for 2 minutes, drain and dry. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter plus the olive oil to a large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the pierogies and cook until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with sour cream on the side.
