STUFFED DUMPLINGS

Pirohy, Pyrohy, Perogie,

Pierogie, stuffed dumplings

Dumpling Ingredients

• 6 cup flour

• 1cup cold water

• 6 eggs

• 1-1/2 teaspoon salt

Pirohy, Pyrohy, Perogie, Pierogie Dumpling Method:

Mix all ingredients with enough water to make medium soft dough. Knead well and then roll out until thin. Cut in squares to make 50 pirohy. Place on each square 2 teaspoon of a filling. Fold in half to make triangles. Pinch edges well with thumb to keep filling from escaping. Drop in salted water and cook until all the dumplings rise to the top of the water. Then cook for 5 minutes longer. When done, pour a small amount of cold water in pot and strain. Place in serving dish and pour over butter that has been melted and slightly browned. Eat while hot, and if desired, add more salt.

Dumplings may be spread carefully on breadboard after draining, to allow them to dry a bit. Then place on serving dish and you will find them less soggy or lightly fry dumplings on one side in butter with a tablespoon of minced onions until a light golden color.

Below is enough filling to fill 50 dumplings using a variety of the cheese, potato and cabbage. If you only want to make one kind of a filling, triple a filling recipe below.

Pirohy, Pyrohy, Perogie, Pierogie - Cheese Dumpling Filling

1 cup of dry cottage cheese

2 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoon butter

2 egg yolk

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Pirohy, Pyrohy, Perogie, Pierogie - Potato Dumpling Filling

Two large potatoes cooked and mashed. Add 2 tablespoon melted browned butter and salt to taste. A few dry crushed peppermint leaves may be added. However, this is optional.

Pirohy, Pyrohy, Perogie, Pierogie - Cabbage Dumpling Filling

1 head of cabbage chopped fine. Shake 1 teaspoon of salt on it,  set aside to stand for several minutes. Then fry in 2-3 tablespoon butter that has been allowed to brown. Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and stir occasionally to keep from burning. Fry until golden brown.

Tequila Chicken Tacos

(Source: Romance Author J.S. Wayne)

This is a time-tested, easy recipe that’s great for serving up a tasty Tex-Mex meal with minimal stress! It lends itself well to buffet-style service. As above, this recipe serves fifty. The original recipe, intended for a smaller group, calls for a Crock-Pot.

25 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

6 12-oz jars Pace Picante Sauce

375 mL (1/2 bottle) Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila (or to taste)

8 lemons and 8 limes (can substitute 2 bottles Realemon and 2 bottles Realime—these bottles look like lemons and limes)

8 bags tortilla chips or 16 12-packs taco shells

10 lbs shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican mix, or Colby-Jack are best)

4 8-oz containers sour cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the chicken breasts into strips about ¼ inch wide. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and limes, or simply add in the Realemon and Realime. Combine all ingredients in a deep roasting pan or Dutch oven. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the chicken shows an even color on the outside, is firm and solid under a fork, and is pale pink on the inside. (This color comes from the picante sauce and is entirely normal. As long as the chicken is firm when you cut into it, it’s safe to eat. The alcohol will cook off during the baking process, leaving only the tequila’s spicy flavor behind.) Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, shredded lettuce, tomato, and salsa if desired.

This recipe yields approximately three tacos or one plate of nachos per person.

Fatty & Fried Foods

I love some fried up goodness as much as the next person, but offering foods laden with trans-fats is a sure fire way to send your guests into a greasy food coma. People are growing more aware of what they put in their bodies and may feel bogged down by fattening menu options. Make sure to include some greens and lots of fresh items to encourage your guests to have mouth-watering options that won’t send them into a diabetic shock.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Desert, desert, desert! No bias here *ahem*, but the sweet treats at the end of the meal are definitely where it’s at! People remember deserts and it’s the most delicious way to wrap up a meal. Give your guests a few surprises at the end and include a few desert options including a chocolate dish, a non-chocolate desert, and some fruit to freshen up their pallets.

Variety Is the Spice of Life

Give your guests variety, but tame the spiciness level on your dishes. If you want things to get weird serve up some wickedly spicy noms, but be prepared to have an abundance of tissues ready for people to wipe up their runny noses. If decide to walk on the wild side and serve spicy food make sure your guests are made aware of the spice factor well before they consume their food.

Carnivores VS. Herbivores

Try to avoid serving vegetarian only dishes and to avoid subjecting any of your guests to the meat sweats (I swear it’s a real thing!) try to avoid only serving non-vegetarian friendly options too.  There’s a happy medium between meat-opolis and veggie-licious that you should be able to find nicely and all of your guests will love you for it!

So now that you know what NOT to do you can start planning your delicious menu today! Start checking out the best caterers Las Vegas has to offer today. Whether you’re planning your wedding reception or you’re on the hunt for the most awesome corporate caterer Las Vegas can dish up you’re bound to find a great one and remember to follow these four lil’ tips to help avoid a dining bust!

First, decide on an overall menu that fits with your theme, whether it’s an Asian-themed luncheon or a wedding reception. For a family reunion, there’s no real need to get as fancy as for a black-tie wedding. Something simple like fried chicken, hamburgers, or hot dogs will not only take the strain off you, but it’s a pretty safe bet that most of the attendees will love them!

Next, determine who will be attending who does have certain allergies or special dietary requirements, whether for medical or personal reasons. There are a number of healthy, vegetable-based alternatives such as veggie burgers which not only taste great, but won’t leave your vegan sister in law out in the cold when everyone else is enjoying their meal. Knowing how many attendees will need special consideration or menu alterations is a big step in putting together a great menu.

Finally, what kind of desserts should you put out? When you’re thinking about this, you not only need to consider others’ medical concerns, such as diabetes, but also what you can serve that will be simple, easy, and fits with your theme. It’s unlikely that you would follow up an enchilada buffet with cheesecake, for example. Your caterer can help you determine what the best desserts for your chosen menu are.

Knowing what questions to ask is important anytime you’re planning a party, and having a knowledgeable, experienced corporate caterer Las Vegas knows and trusts can help take a lot of the guesswork out of planning your perfect party or special day. For more suggestions, tips, or to arrange your party’s catering, contact Divine Events today. Having a caterer who knows how to please a crowd is a great way to make sure you can relax and enjoy the party!
