Vegeterian Tips: When Vegetarian Being a vegetarian is not always easy, especially when dining out at restaurants with your carnivorous friends. Since you can t always eat at vegetarian or vegan restaurants, here are some tips to read, meant to make your dining out experiences that much better.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onio
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon soy non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
- 1/4-1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Cut potatoes into chunks and boil until tender. Drain.
Saute onions in water until translucent. Whip potatoes with
garlic, parsley, margarine, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in
onions. Set aside.
Prepare dough by combining flour, water, and olive oil.
Knead until smooth, adding very small amounts (1/8 tsp) of
water if necessary.
Cut off a strawberry-size piece of dough and roll it into a
circle. The dough should be rolled quite thin–just thick
enough that it doesn”t tear too easily. The standard size
of pierogies is about a 3-inch diameter, but I like to make
an assortment of sizes. Put a tablespoon or so of the
potato mixture on the dough circle (more of less, depending
on the size), fold one side over so it is a semi-circle, and
seal shut. You may need some water if the dough has begun
to dry out.
**Caution: Do not put uncooked pierogies on a paper plate.
They will stick. Use a regular plate or cookie sheet.
After all the pierogies have been made, you can either
freeze them, refrigerate them for a few days, or go ahead
and cook them.
To cook: Boil pierogies in water for a few minutes. They
cook quickly. Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a frying pan.
Brown pierogies on each side.
You can top pierogies in a variety of ways: tofu sour
cream, tomato sauce, salsa, ketchup, etc. Of course,
you can also eat them plain. Also, the ingredients in the
potato filling can be varied. Bon appetit!
