Vegan Pierogies – Wild Garlic Dough & Sauerkraut, Potato, Sourcream Stuffing
Finally I manage to load up this recipe for you guys. It has been requested for a long time now.
I wrote this recipe two days after arriving back from Sri Lanka & I have was missing to write for you.
This was Elias, a good friend of mine who sings incredibly good. Him, my best friends and my favorite regional food finally made me fell like I arrived back. Of course, the culture shock was real, switching from a crowded, loud and colorful Sri Lanka to a grey wintery Germany.
Luckily my grandparents visited me and my mum with a big batch of homemade Sourkraut, a traditional fermented cabbage dish which I know since childhood.
This was the inspiration for this recipe & i hope you enjoy it as much as I did
How you do it:
Start with the dough
- Mix the flour with salt, wild garlic pesto and water and stir with a spoon until everything is roughly combined. Continue with your hands until you have a ball of dough. Don’t worry when it seems to be dy at first, eventually it will turn out after a while.

The Stuffing

- Add them to a mixing bowl together with the sour cream (if you dont have vegan sour cream, try out this recipe ).
- Add a pinch of salt, nutmeg, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, white pepper and smash the potatoes either with a mixer or with your hands.

7. Take one of the circles into you hand a pull gently on the edges of two opposite sides, so you get an oval.
8. Now place half a tbsp into the middle of the dough and softly pinch the edges together. They need to be closed.
9. place them on a floured tray and continue until you have no more dough and stuffing left.
10. Cut onions into rings and caramelize them in a pan while you heat a pot of salt water for the Pierogies.
