Varenyky
Varenyky are considered one of Ukraine’s national dishes, and there are so many different types that you could eat varenyky with a different filling every day for months and never run out of options. Also called pyrohy or pierogi, varenyky are delicious dumplings that are boiled then fried or baked and served with butter, sour cream, and garnished with a variety of toppings.
There are both savory and sweet varenyky, made with fillings like potato, sauerkraut, meat, cheese, and fruit. Typically, savory varenyky are served with sour cream, fried onions, and sliced mushrooms or kovbasa. Sweet varenyky are plated up with sugar, honey, sour cream, or jam.
