Dumplings From Around the World

I love love love pierogis. My mom (from Galicia in western Ukraine) made pierogis too -- so delicious. Always served with lots of melted butter and sour cream. Fillings of potato & cottage cheese, sauerkraut, sometimes plums and blueberries. The fruit ones with melted butter, sprinkled sugar on top and sour cream. Fond memories of helping her at our big dining table.

Other dumplings I totally love are samosas, deep fried but absolutely delicious. I am a real dumpling fan.
 
My mom used to make these... called Pyrahi.

Fresh out of the oven we'd pour straight whipping cream into the centres, and the rest is history!

She made them with a wide range of fillings... potato & onion, potato & beans, raspberry, cheese & potato... OMG, so, so, yummy!

My grandma made peach dumplings. She wrapped the dough around nice fresh peaches, simmered and drained them. Next came loads of melted butter and finished them off with cinnamon sugar.
I tried to make them once and couldn't get the dough to stay on the slippery peach.
My grandma was Czech,I'm not sure if it was an authentic dish from that country but they sure were good.
 
i like the pierogi's with the cheese and mashed potatoes inside. They're better fried but I always boiled mine cuz I never bought a fryer.

Dumplings I'm familiar with are included in "Chicken-and-Dumplings." Long ago, I tried a recipe from an old cookbook in which the main ingredient was basic flour, and not much else in it. Didn't like it. When I make dumplings, I use Bisquick- preferably the garlic/cheese option.

Well now, don't be shy, Janice, the next time you're whipping up a batch of dumplings, you know who to invite! šŸ˜‹
 
Love pierogi's. My girlfriend's Polish father (her mother was Scottish) used to make them. I liked the chicken best, then the cheese/potato.

Also like the Chinese pork/leek dumplings that we buy frozen. It's the only time we eat pork.

The Jewish bakery sells all manner of fruit dumplings, but they are quite expensive (and delicious).
 
I've sampled little dumplings from all over the world. Most were very nice, some were kind of weird. After sampling them, I usually moved on, although one moved in with me, for a few months. I lost touch with her, over time.........

I've had several; ravioli, tortellini, empanada, tamale, peirogi, pot-stickers, samosas.

Beside "pot-stickers" I'd like to try more of the Asian types. In fact, I would love each of the dumplings on that list!

I love samosas, but they are not all created equal. Our favourites were home-made .. the wife of a bulk-barn manager made them - but they closed for demolition (condos going up in the strip-mall where they were). We've been desperately searching for an equivalent, but so far, no luck.

I decided to make samosas using filo, after I saw a few, at an international grocer. They came out great! I made a tamarind dip that was soooooooo tasty, but my lower GI told me, "Never again, man!"
