Method

Dough Preparation

1

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

2

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the pastrami, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and chopped dill. Mix until well combined.

Assembly and Cooking

3

Assemble the Pastrami Pierogi

Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter or glass. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

4

Cook the Pierogi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the water in batches. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

5

Serve

Serve warm topped with sour cream and chopped chives.
