PREPARATION

  • 1

    In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese and egg whites. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth; this will be your filling.

  • 2

    In another bowl, place the whole wheat flour and a small pinch of salt. Lightly mix in a few drops of water (if needed) to bring the dough together. Knead briefly until a firm but pliable dough forms.

  • 3

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough thinly. Cut into circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.

  • 4

    Spoon a teaspoon of the cottage cheese mixture onto the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over and press the edges together firmly to seal, forming a half-moon shape.

  • 5

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Gently drop the pierogi in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top, indicating they are done.

  • 6

    Meanwhile, slice the red onion thinly. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized, about 6-8 minutes.

  • 7

    Once pierogi are cooked, drain them and serve topped with the warm caramelized onions. Enjoy this protein-packed meal as a satisfying dinner or versatile meal option.
