Pierogi with cod
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Dumplings are a multinational dish. They are made in Europe, Asia, and America, only under different names. But the essence remains the same: meat, fish, vegetables, or cheese wrapped in thin dough. Cod dumplings are very tender and delicious. Cod is excellent for this dish. Its juicy white flesh pairs perfectly with the dough, which you can prepare using your favorite recipe or follow mine. The specified amount of ingredients yields 40–45 dumplings. The finished dish is ready to serve.
