Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 c sliced tomato
  • 2 dozen fresh, precooked potato pierogi (see Note)
  •  Olive oil
  • 1 c sour cream
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded & thinly sliced
  • 1/4 c thinly sliced scallions
  •  Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 1 lb large shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded

Directions
  • Step #1 Light a grill.
  • Step #2 Arrange the potato pierogi on a large baking sheet & brush generously with olive oil.
  • Step #3 In a small bowl, mix the sliced tomato with the sliced onion & jalapeño.
  • Step #4 Spice up with salt & pepper.
  • Step #5 Brush the shiitake mushroom caps with olive oil & season this with salt & pepper.
  • Step #6 Grill the mushroom caps over a medium-hot fire until tender & nicely browned, about 4 mins per side.
  • Step #7 Thinly slice the mushrooms & transfer to a bowl.
  • Step #8 Toss the mushrooms with the scallions.
  • Step #9 Grill the pierogi over a medium-hot fire until they are browned & crisp, about 2 mins per side.
  • Step #10 Transfer the pierogis to a large platter & spread with the sour cream.
  • Step #11 Spoon the mushroom topping over half of the pierogi & spoon the tomato salsa over the rest.
  • Step #12 Serve hot.
  • Step #13 Notes: If you use frozen pierogi that are not precooked, you must boil them first, then drain & let cool completely before grilling.
  • Step #14 BEER The creamy, earthy & spicy elements in these crostini call for a bright, golden lager with plenty of flavor to match.
  • Step #15 Try the classic Pilsner Urquell or the smooth & strong Polish Piast.
