Description

A quick and easy vegan pierogi recipe that comes together in a flash. This mushroom & sauerkraut pierogi recipe is bound to be a recipe worth repeating!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tsp Olive Oil 
  • 1 1/2 Cup Shiitake Mushrooms (Or mushroom of your choice, Small Diced)
  • 4 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 2 Cups Sauerkraut (Drained Well)
  • 30+ Vegan Wonton Wrappers (We used the brand Nasoya)
  • 1 Medium Onion (Diced)
  • 1/4 Cup Vegan Sour Cream (Garnish, try this homemade Classic Tofu Sour Cream recipe!)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro (Chopped, Optional Garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare produce as directed above. 
  2. Add the 2 tsps of oil to a large skillet and place over medium/high heat. Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine. Allow to cook for 3 minutes until the mushrooms begin to release their liquid and brown. Next add the garlic to the pan, stir to combine and allow to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Mixture should be almost dry.
  3. In a large bowl, add the drained sauerkraut and the mushroom mixture, stir to combine. 
  4. On a clean surface, place a wonton wrapper. Add 2 tsps of mushroom sauerkraut mixture in the middle of the wrapper. 
  5. Using a brush or a clean finger, wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold the wrapper into a triangle over the filling. Press the edge to create a seal. Fold the points of the triangle in and seal with water. Cover the prepared pierogi with a clean cloth to prevent drying out. Repeat the process until all of the mixture is used. It will make approximately 30 pierogi.
  6. Chop the onion and sauté over medium high heat until nicely browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside
  7. Using the same pan, add 1 tsp of oil. Working in batches over medium heat, brown pierogi on each side. Add additional oil if needed. 
  8. Serve warm with vegan sour cream and sautéed onion. Enjoy!
  9. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For a healthier alternative, the pierogi can be boiled instead of pan-fried. Boil 6 pierogi at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until the wonton wrappers become translucent. Remove from the boiling water carefully using a slotted spoon and serve immediately. 
  • The prepared pierogi can also be frozen prior to cooking for an easy meal in the future. Spread them out on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour. This prevents them from sticking together. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or a ziplock freezer bag and store them for up to 3 month. When ready to use, simply pan-fry or boil right from the freezer.
