Pierogi
Description
I suggest preparing our favorite dish in an interesting way. A small amount of tomato paste gives this romantic dish its pink color, as well as a pleasant tomato flavor. You can use any kind of minced meat; I used a pork and beef mix. Serve these dumplings with various sauces, such as mayonnaise or sour cream—just as you like—but обязательно горячими, с пылу с жару.
