Polish food dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biłgoraj pieróg[citation needed] (Polish: Pieróg biłgorajski, piróg biłgorajski, krupniak) is a traditional Polish regional dish, originating from Biłgoraj Land, formerly prepared for important celebrations and holidays.[1]
Pieróg biłgorajski is baked either without a crust - then it's called "bald" (pol. łysy) - or with a yeast dough crust. The filing is based on cooked potatoes, quark and cooked buckwheat groats (kasha).[1] The other ingredients are: eggs, śmietana (sour cream), fatback or lard, mint (fresh or dried) and spices (salt, black pepper).[1] The kneaded dough is formed into a rectangular or circular shape and baked in oven.[1] Optionally, pieróg biłgorajski can be folded in a thin layer of yeast-based dough.[2]
The texture of the pieróg (sing.) is solid, easy to break or crumble, with its appearance resembling that of freshly cooked pâté.[2] May be served hot or cold, with śmietana (sour cream), milk or butter.[1]
A Polish dish with a similar taste is kaszak, which is de facto a bread roll infilled with Biłgoraj pierogi.
Since October 4, 2005 the Biłgoraj pierogi are found on the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's List of Traditional Products .[2]
