Thanks to Monica and Walter for responding to my new twist on perogie making! I know I tweaked the traditional dish more than others have, however I must say it's quite delicious! You guys said you've had them in marinara which actually isn't traditional to polish culture perogies, however I am glad the feedback opened some minds and hopefully some stomachs.

There are some foods that have universal approaches when it comes to recipe experimentation. My favorite food to be creative with are perogies. I love the cheesy potato-esque of the food, that can be eaten in a variety of ways.

Tonight, I decided to try a new approach to steaming perogies. Perogies can be fried, steamed, grilled, boiled and sauteed. My recipe went as follows:

GARLIC LEMON PEPPER PEROGIE SAUTEE 

ingredients:

1 box of mini perogies

1 bunch of asparagus, sliced into dice pieces

1 orange bell pepper

salt & pepper to taste

garlic powder

1/4 cup of white wine

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

how-to:

1. prepare the vegetables. put perogies in a non-stick pan and begin the defrosting process.

2. throw salt, pepper and garlic and a little olive oil over top of perogies then cover with a lid for 2 minutes

3. add veggies while mixing in wine and lemon- cover for 5-8 minutes (depends if you really like well-done perogies or lightly steamed)

I have done recipes with perogie marinara bakes, vodka sauce, meat sauce, spanish perogies. What ways have you guys done perogies? I would love to hear your feedback on the different approaches you've taken with perogies!
