There are few dishes I get really excited about, but I am crazy about these Sweet Potato Pierogi with Caramelized Onions and a side of sauteed red cabbage mixed with Granny Smith Apples! Serve with a side of vegan sour cream and a sprinkle of caraway seeds and you have one amazing meal!

These are so easy to make, it’s all about preparation. Don’t be intimidated. You could even use store bought round wonton wrappers if you’d like. Just be sure they don’t contain egg, as many of them do.

What I love about this recipe is that no one would even know it’s vegan. It contains every component of a traditional pierogi dish. We built upon the flavors and substituted, where necessary, to veganize it. Actually, there are only a few vegan ingredients: almond milk, margarine, sour cream and cream cheese. All readily available at most specialty (and many mainstream) grocery stores. There are a few brands available, these are just a few that I use.

Combine all ingredients for the pierogi dough in the bowl of an electric mixer. The dough will be sticky. This is normal. It’s a very tender and flavorful dough. Use plenty of flour on your hands, the roller and surface you are using. Let it rest in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

A few people have asked to see the process fo making the pierogi, so here’s a little photo tutorial 🙂
