RYP Beet Perogies

A Polish-inspired dish of Perogies with a twist. Adding RYP Just Beet It ~ Organic Beet Powder gives it those extra nutrients and not to mention a beautiful colour! 

*Exact quantities are not given. This recipe is all about experimenting with how you like it best. But here are the basics :)*

Ingredients:

Filling of choice:

• 8 small Mushrooms
• 1 large White Onion
• 1 clove of Garlic
• 1 Red Pepper
• 1/4 cup Butter
• Pinch of salt and pepper

Dough:

• 2 cups of flour
• 4 tbsp RYP Just Beet It ~ Organic Beet Powder
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp salt
• Boiling Hot Water

Directions: 

1. Finely chop mushrooms, white onion, garlic and red pepper and sauté in a pan with butter. 
2. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté until desired. Set aside. 
3. To prepare the dough: Combine the flour and the RYP Powder in a large bowl. Mix in the egg yolk. 
4. Prepare a dry counter space lightly dusted with flour and begin to work the dough. Add in a small amount of boiling hot water every 2 minutes or so to keep the dough at the right texture. This should take about 15 mins until the consistency is "elasticy". *Hint*: This is a great arm workout! 
5. Use a flour-dusted rolling pin to roll out the dough to about 1/8 of an inch thickness on the dry, flour-dusted counter space. 
6. With a glass, cut out circles. With a spoon, carefully place approximately 1.5 tsp of sautéed filling into the center of the dough. 
7. Prepare a pot of boiling water. 
8. Close the perogie and gently press the edges with a fork. Place closed perogies into the boiled water on medium heat (I did 4 at a time). These perogies are done once they float to the top! 
9. Place on a plate to cool, don't let them touch! Serve and Enjoy however you like :)
