Pierogi (/pɪˈroʊɡi/ pirr-OH-ghee, Polish: [pjɛˈrɔɡʲi] ⓘ; sg. pieróg [ˈpjɛruk] ⓘ) are filled dumplings made by wrapping unleavened dough around a filling and cooked in boiling water. They are occasionally flavored with a savory or sweet garnish. Typical fillings include potato, cheese, quark, sauerkraut, ground meat, mushrooms, fruits, or berries. Savory pierogis are often served with a topping of sour cream, fried onions, or both.[1][2]

Pierogi varieties are associated with the cuisines of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Dumplings most likely originated in Asia and came to Europe via trade in the Middle Ages.[3][4] However, the dish itself dates back to at least 1682, when Poland's first cookbook, Compendium ferculorum, albo Zebranie potraw, was published.[5] The widely used English name pierogi was derived from Polish. In Ukraine and parts of Canada they are known under their Ukrainian name – varenyky,[6] or, in some dialects, pyrohy.[7] Pierogis are also popular in modern-day American cuisine where they are sometimes known under different local names.
