Pierogi Mushroom filling
Ingredients:
shiitake mushrooms -- soaked and chopped
1 pound button mushrooms
1/2 medium onion -- chopped
salt -- to taste
pepper -- to taste
Directions:
Soak Shitake mushrooms in warm water for atleast an hour!. Chop 1 lb button mushrooms roughly and 1/2 medium onion and saute in butter until mushrooms cook down!. Chop Shitake mushrooms fine and add mushrooms AND WATER THEY HAVE BEEN SOAKING IN to pan & simmer 5-6 min, until liquid starts to evaporate!. Salt & pepper lightly!. (This holds nicely in the refrigerator - if you make the mushrooms the day before you make the pierogis, they will absorb more flavor from the cooking liquid!.
When filling pierogi's, squeeze liquid from mushrooms - if filling is too moist it will run out of the dough!.
Now, when my wife and I make them I also make mashed potatoes, and let them cool a little!. Then I get some sharp cheddar cheese and cut it into very small pieces and add it and a little dill, salt, and pepper to the potatoes!. This makes a wonderful stuffing as well!.
