½ cup flour
½ cup semolina flour
⅓ cup hot water
½ tsp. salt
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. tomato purée
1 sweet potato

Bring a pot of water to boil; peel and dice sweet potato and add to water. Once soft, drain, mash & set aside. In food processor, combine flours and salt. On slow speed, add the oil, tomato purée and slowly drizzle in hot water. Dough should come together into a ball. If not, add water 1 tsp. at a time. Remove dough and divide in half. Roll each piece as thinly as possible add about a teaspoon of mashed sweet potato filling. Seal and cut with Sara's Perogy maker.
TO COOK: Boil to al denté. Remove when they begin to float - about 3 or 4 minutes.

Serve with Sara's Fresh Tomato Sauce.

2 tomatoes, skinned and seeded

1 clove garlic, puréed

pinch of salt

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water.

Score the bottom of the tomatoes and drop them into the boiling water for about 1 minute.

Remove and plunge them into the cold water.

Core the tomatoes and remove the skins; slice and remove the seeds.

Mash the tomatoes with a fork and add the puréed garlic, salt and olive oil; mix well.

2 cups flour, plus extra for kneading and rolling dough

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup sour cream, plus extra to serve with the perogy

1/4 cup butter, softened and cut into small pieces

butter and onions to sauté

ingredients for filling of your choice

To prepare the dough, mix flour and salt. Beat egg, then add all at once to flour mixture. Add 1/2 cup sour cream and softened butter pieces. Work until dough loses most of its stickiness (about 5-7 minutes). You can use a food processor with a dough hook for this, but be careful not to overbeat.

Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or overnight; the dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Prepare the Perogies using Sara's perogy or pastry maker. Boil a few at a time. They're done when they float to the top (about 8-10 minutes). Rinse in cool water and let dry.

Saute chopped onions in butter in a large pan until onions are soft. Then add pierogies and pan fry until lightly crispy. Serve with a side of sour cream for a true Pittsburgh pierogi meal.
