Beef filled pierogi with creamed tomato sauce
You can call the dish a fusion of Polish and Italian cooking. Nothing new of course, I had a very similar dish once in an Italian restaurant in Windhoek, they obviously served instead of pierogi ravioli.
Close enough, I thought and that's how I've got the idea.
Would I have known, how much work it would be, I guess I would have ordered some takeaways from the mentioned restaurant. And don't think, I don't like complicated, time consuming dishes. I do. Well, not at the moment. Not with a toddler and baby to look after. But I did it and it was delicious, even if the tomato sauce was a bit too sour. Will I cook it again? Most definitely - when I have enough time and patience.
I grew up with pierogi, for me it's THE Polish dish. I love them, no matter if filled with cheese and potatoes (russian), sauerkraut and mushrooms, just mushrooms or meat. They are also very tasteful with fruits or with chunky cottage cheese for dessert. They are also called dumplings or polish ravioli.
I remember my whole family standing in the kitchen sticking the pierogi together. And last week I also remembered, why all of us helped - it takes for ever to get them done. Beside the meat being cooked three ways, cutting out the dough and sticking the pierogi is so time consuming. I'm sure every Polish housewife and cook laughs at me now and does them on their head, but since I'm doing them maybe twice a year, it's a never ending story. But said that, it's worth it!
