　　Pierogi (Polish pronunciation) are dumplings of unleavened dough一first boiled, then they are baked or fried usually in butter with onions一traditionally stuffed with potato filling, sauerkraut, ground meat,cheese, or fruit. Of central and eastern European provenance, they are usually semicircular, but are rectangular or triangular in some cuisines.

　　Pierogi are small enough to be served several or many at a time,so the plural form of the word is usually used when rerring to this dish. In Polish pierogi is actually the plural, pierbg being singular.In Czech and Slovak pirohy is also the plural, piroh is singular. In Germany, this type of dumpling is called Pirogge in the singular and Piroggen in the plural,although sometimes the Polish name Pierogi is simply used.

　　Pierogi or vareniki may be stuffed (singularly or in various

　　combinations) with mashed potatoes, cheese,cabbage, sauerkraut, meat, mushrooms, spinach, or other ingredients depending on the cook&aposs personal prerences. Dessert versions of the dumpling can be stuffed with a fresh fruit filling, such as cherry,strawberry, saskatoon berry, raspberry, blueberry,peach, plum, or apple; stoned prunes are sometimes used as well as jam or sweetened curd. For more flavor, sour cream can be added to the dough mixture,and this also tends to lighten the dough.

　　Mashed potatoes mixed with farmer&aposs cheese and fried onion is a popular filling in Poland. A popular filling for pierogi in Canada is mashed potatoes mixed with grated Cheddar cheese. Jewish Kreplach are filled with ground meat, mashed potato or another filling, usually boiled and served in chicken soup.They are similar to Italian tortellini and Chinese wontons.

　　Pierogi are popular among the peoples of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

　　Pierogi(波蘭語發(fā)音)是死面餃子—做法是先將其煮熟，然后和洋蔥一起在黃油里煎或者烘烤—一般用土豆、酸菜、碎肉、奶酪或水果做餡兒。在中歐和東歐，他們通常是半圓形的，但是也有一些人將其做成長方形或三角形。

　　正因為pieragi很小，人們一次可以吃幾個或者很多個，所以這個詞的復數(shù)形式通常指的是碟子的數(shù)目。在波蘭語中pierogi中實際上是復數(shù)，pier6g是單數(shù)。在捷克和斯洛伐克pirohy也是復數(shù)中，piroh是單數(shù)。在德國，這種類型的餃子的單數(shù)被稱為piragge，而復數(shù)被稱為piroggen，不過人們有時就簡單地使用其波蘭語的名字pieragi。Pierogi或vareniki有可能依據(jù)廚師的個人偏好被填入(單獨的或不同類型的組合)土豆泥、奶酪、白菜、酸菜、肉、蘑菇、菠菜或其他作料。如果想把這種餃子做成甜品可以用新鮮水果作餡兒.如櫻桃、草每、薩斯卡通落、樹每、藍萄、桃子、李子或蘋果，有時也會用去核兒的西梅以及果醬或煉乳。為了更有味道，廚師將酸奶油加人面團中混合，這種情況下一般將面團做得輕一點兒。

　　波蘭人很喜歡土豆泥與農(nóng)民做的奶酪和炸洋蔥的混合餡兒。在加拿大流行一種土豆泥混合碎切達奶酪的餡兒。狄太人的Kreplach三角餛飩餡兒由絞肉、土豆泥或另一種餡兒組成，通常煮熟并放入雞湯里。它們和意大利式餃子與中國的餛飩相似。

　　Pierogi在前波蘭一立陶宛聯(lián)邦的人民中很受歡迎。雖然這個菜有不同的名稱(例如，在白俄羅斯叫kalduny，在愛沙尼亞叫pirukad，拉脫維亞叫piragi，在立陶宛叫koldunai，在烏克蘭叫varenyky)。西斯拉夫波蘭人、捷克人、斯洛伐克人、以及東斯拉夫白俄羅斯人、俄羅斯人、烏克蘭人和盧森尼亞人、波羅的海的愛沙尼亞人、拉脫維亞人和立陶宛人都吃這個菜。
