FRESH CABBAGE PIEROGI RECIPE
While sauerkraut pierogi recipe is definitely more popular than a fresh cabbage pierogi recipe, both versions are worth trying! The quality cabbage is usually seasonal, that's why I recommend to use it only in the summertime.

Steps:
- Put flour, egg, oil, and salt into the bowl. Whisk it together with hand or dough hook attachment.
- Start adding the water slowly, letting it incorporate before adding more.
- Whisk until all the ingredients are incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Wash, and finely chop the cabbage (be sure to throw away the core).
- Add a bit of water and cook the cabbage until soft.
- When the cabbage is soft, drain it off.
- Finely chop the onions and fry it with a bit of oil until it's caramelized and soft.
- Mix the cooked cabbage and onions together.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the dough into the 2 or 3 pieces.
- Thinly roll each piece out onto a floured surface to just under 1/16 - 1/8" thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut the circles from the dough.
- Put the cabbage filling in the center of each circle. The more filling, the better, however, you need to be sure it stays inside pierogi. When the filling will get between the dough when sealing, pierogi may fall apart during the cooking.
- Pull the edges of each circle together to form pierogi. Make sure the seal is continuous and intact. You can't leave any free space, as pierogi will fall apart during the cooking. Pinch tightly.
- Collect the remaining dough scraps and put them to the other 2 dough pieces. Repeat the process until the entire dough and all the filling is used.
- Pour the water into the big pot. Add 2 pinches of salt. Boil.
- Gently throw pierogi, one by one into the boiling water.
- When they start floating, wait for a minute and take them out with the slotted spoon.
- Pour the melted butter or lard on top.

HOMEMADE POLISH CABBAGE PIEROGI RECIPE
I have a love affair going on with pierogi. Actually, I have a love affair going on with anything dumpling, but these Cabbage Pierogi are one of my favorites. I don't know what it is about them, but I always feel like it's a better day when I eat a pierogi. The first dish I learned to make was pierogi. My grandma used to make them all the time when I was growing up, and I always loved helping her in the kitchen. I had no idea what I was doing, but I loved every minute of it. Cabbage pierogi are a traditional Polish dish and a great way to use up extra cabbage. This version replaces the traditional potatoes in a pierogi with cabbage, adding a subtle tanginess to this tasty dish. Making pierogi is a great way to get the family involved in the kitchen and also a great way to get creative with food. This cabbage pierogi recipe is a great way to get creative with classic comfort food. The family can even help out with the preparation of the dish by cutting the cabbage, slicing the onions, and mixing the ingredients together. Moreover, It is very easy to make, and one of the things I love about pierogi is that you can use any ingredients you want, so you can change this meal up very easily. My kids love this meal and we make it all the time. Hope you enjoy this recipe. What is Polish Pierogi? Pierogi are traditional Polish dumplings that are stuffed with a variety of fillings. Since the mid-1990s, pierogi have become popular in other areas of the U.S. and Canada, especially areas with a significant Polish population. They are often available frozen in supermarkets in areas where they are not traditionally served. Pierogi can be found in grocery stores, usually frozen in a multi-pack, in Polish specialty stores, and in some mainstream supermarkets, fresh or frozen. They can be purchased boiled, fried, or baked. You can make them at home as well. What to serve with Cabbage Pierogi? You can serve friend onions, Melted butter, Sour cream, Maggi seasoning sauce, and Skwarki (left from making homemade lard). If you have any other options, share them in the comments section below. How to know that your dough is ready to roll out? Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it sticks, knead more flour into the dough. If it doesn't stick to your finger, it's ready to roll out. Cover it with plastic wrap and set it aside while you are making the filling. Can I griddle or pan-fry my cabbage pierogi? Yes, you can! Take a large saucepan or Blackstone griddle and melt butter in it over medium heat. Place pierogies in a single layer and cover them with a lid. Let it cook until you get golden brown crispiness. Flip and cook the other side. How to Freeze Cabbage Pierogi? Cabbage Pierogi is a great food to have in the freezer because they are easy to freeze and they are great to eat in the wintertime when it is cold outside and you want something warm and hearty. Pierogi can be frozen either raw or cooked. The raw pierogi will freeze much better than the cooked pierogi. To freeze the cooked pierogi, put them in a container and spread plastic wrap over them before placing another layer. This will help keep the pierogi from sticking together. If you don't do this, you will probably end up with a big frozen lump of pierogi. If you freeze the raw pierogi, you don't have to worry about them sticking together. When you throw them in the water, they will be separated.
