Crispy Pork Pierogi

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ lb ground pork
• 1.5 large yellow onion
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 whole egg
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp fresh chives or dill (chopped)

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix flour with 0.75 cup water, 0.5 tsp salt, and the egg until a soft dough forms. Knead 2 minutes. Let rest while you prep the filling.

2. 2

   Brown ground pork in a skillet with 1 tbsp butter, stirring to break it up, until cooked through (~5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.

3. 3

   Thinly slice the onion. Add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet and cook onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized (~8 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut out 8-10 rounds using a 3-inch glass or cookie cutter. Place 1 tbsp pork filling on each, fold in half, and pinch edges to seal.

5. 5

   Wipe the skillet clean. Heat 1 tbsp butter over medium-high. Working in batches, pan-fry pierogi 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.

6. 6

   Plate pierogi, top with caramelized onions and a spoonful of sour cream, and scatter fresh chives. Serve hot.
