Are there any pierogi lovers? I am sure, they are! Traditional Polish pierogi consume a lot of time to precisely make them. But what would you say to pierogi stuffing wrapped in lumpia? They are same delicious and much easier and much faster to make. Pierogi were served very often in my mom's home, and she was a master in making them. My favorite ones were "Ruskie Pierogi", which stuffing was made with ~2/3 of potatoes and 1/3 of cottage cheese (white cheese). The great taste they owe to fried onion and black pepper, that is essential in this dish.
Ingredients for 35 - 40 "Ruthenian" spring rolls
40 pieces of lumpia
1.5 kg potatoes (organic)
600 g cottage cheese (can use more)
1 onion, large
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground (can use more)
Oil for frying (I use canola, organic)
Directions:
Stuffing:
Peel cut potatoes into small pieces, then cook. I always steam-cook veggies to save as many nourishment as possible. Chop onion finely and fry until golden-brown. Mashed cooked potatoes, and cheese, add onion and spices., mix well together. Place a spoonful of stuffing in the middle of lumpia. and roll just like a traditional spring roll. Fry rolls in very little oil, so that they are less caloric. Ready.
