Pierogees are stuffed dumplings of European origin filled with vegetarian and meat fillings which are then boiled and sauted in butter. They have similarities with Tibetan momos, South American empandas , Indian modak, German schufnudel. I love all kinds of dumplings and I have several types of dumplings recipe in my blog.
