Preparation Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add egg and cold water. Mix all together to form dough. Cover bowl, and set aside to rest.
Place potato cubes in a pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium/low to simmer until tender. Drain, allow to steam dry for a minute or two, then mash.
Meanwhile, add oil to a frypan and cook the onions and garlic until clear and tender. Allow to cool a few minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked, mashed potato, mashed black beans, the onion/garlic mixture, cheese and spices. This is your filling.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Roll dough out on a floured surface. Cut circles of dough using a small, round container. Place a spoonful of black bean mixture in the center of the dough circle, and fold over, pinching edges together to seal. Drop pierogies in boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float.
Drain boiled pierogies on a rack, and allow to dry.
In a large fry pan, add olive oil, and fry dried pierogies until brown on both sides. Drain on rack/paper towels. Serve with Sassy Sour Cream.
Place the sour cream in a small bowl. Add grated carrot and chopped parsley
Stir to mix.
