Working in small batches, place steamed cabbage in a thin kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Grind cabbage with the fine blade of a meat grinder. Stir in cream cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper. For each pierogi, use 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons filling.
Martha Stewart and her mother makes one of their family holiday favorites, Cabbage Pierogies. These delicious pierogies are made with fresh white cabbage, cream cheese, and stuffed into a homemade dough.
Grind cabbage with the fine blade of a meat grinder. Stir in cream cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper. For each pierogi, use 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons filling. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, and let milk solids sink to bottom.
Now this low carb pierogi recipe does take a little bit of time, but I promise, it’s worth it. Best to eat them hot and with some deeeelicous sour cream. The first dough I used for this is a variation of ‘fathead dough’. If you haven’t heard of fathead dough, it’s so versatile!
