I bought a box of Mrs. T's frozen pierogies on a whim. Does anyone have
a favorite way to serve pierogies? Thanks in advance!

Definitely heat them up first.

Same way my mother made 'em. She made 'em from scratch tho - using Farmer's Cheese with a very little finely chopped onion for the filling. Fried em in real butter in the large cast iron pan. I could prob. rustle up her dough recipe somewhere if I tried.

Had to go to "the little Polish store" tho just for that cheese as it wasn't readily avail in the markets back then. Octogenarian proprietress barely spoke English and had snow white hair and the smoothest skin.

Mom tried those frozen things many years later and pronounced them a fraud..

^ This. Preferably topped with a dab of sour cream as well, and I
recommend Mexican style sour cream as it is more flavorful than the
regular stuff which seems to have lost most of it's flavor probably due
to the 5gal/day breeds of cows.

Put them into a pot of boiling water...they will go to the bottom.
Stir gently until they all float...don't boil too long or they will
get tough. Use slotted spoon, remove to plate...butter with real
butter NOT !@#$% margarine. Swirl into a bit of sour cream...delicious.

I like them boiled then served with brown butter and onions. Husband
prefers his fried.

Today was the first time I tasted, much less cooked, pierogies. I
caramelized lots of onion in butter, pushed the onions to the side, and
browned the pierogies well on both sides. We ate them with pork
tenderloin and gravy, with some fruit on the side. I am hooked! I can
see pierogies as an easy freezer meal.

Butter, fried, after boiling. Onions.

I just thought about how tasty my grandmothers, and mothers, lekvar
pierogies were, in addition to potato stuffed ones. That's been years ago.

I have some homemade pierogies in the freezer and a pork tenderloin in
the fridge. I have some fresh spinach and fresh greenbeans to use up so
I'm thinking this is going to be my Sunday dinner. I have plenty of
onions so I'm going to try the onions in butter method to fry up the
pierogies.

Precisely the way we do them. It's important for me, though not the
wife, to have some fresh-ground pepper on them. That's the way my mom
always did them.

We have a place nearby, Moscow Deli, run by three Russian ladies who
always have a lot of "bin food" for take out or dine in at either of
their two two-top tables. They make their own everything and peirogies
are one. So they have two or three kinds frozen in the cooler.
Ogodamighty they are good.

How 'bout that. They mush have gained a son-in-law because now they
have a web site:

http://www.moscowdeli.com

With almost nothing on it but their lunch pick-up menu.

Please report back! I'd love to hear how you used the spinach and green
beans.

I had to look up lekvar. It looks like it could refer to prune or
apricot filling. Both sound delicious. Which did you have? Did you
have some sour cream on the side?

Prune. Nothing else except the potato filled ones. I don't know how it
would fare with me know. I can think of many things to put on the inside.

World's largest pierogy -- this is fun.
