A while ago we met up with Yaje Popson, the unofficial mayor of Tompkins Square Park and global avocado advocate, to learn how to make some saag paneer from scratch, a traditional and very tasty vegetarian Indian dish.
Afterward, we got some overly personal DMs asking us for more cooking vids. So we reconnected with Yaje at his East Village apartment to watch him make coconut curry, and now we’re back again with more delights from the least anxious chef in New York.
This time Yaje had a little help from Quim Cardona, who was eager to have us try a pierogi recipe he inherited from his Polish mother. Like Yaje’s other dishes, this recipe is vegetarian-friendly (sorry, vegans) and relatively cheap and easy to make so long as you’re willing to put in the time. Homemade pierogies are a commitment, but sometimes commitment is healthy.
Peep the vid and get motivated to cook something decent for yourself. Or pop another Hot Pocket on the George Foreman grill and settle in for a cozy night on the toilet, your choice!
Quim’s Pierogi Recipe
INGREDIENTS
10 large potatoes
3 large onions
4 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
2 eggs

INSTRUCTIONS
