Pierogi con cinghiale.

Poland meets Italia on the plate. Last Sunday we had Festa di Polpo again, in the same delightful company of LauDe and the neighbours. Nadia brought some delicious, tender chunks of wild boar, simply cooked, I made 3 contorni to go with it, but we had some of that meat left, so yesterday I decided to stuff it into pierogi. I cooked down some onions, carrots and zucchini first, a handful of porcini too, before adding the boar, then blitzed it altogether, but not into a baby food consistency, a bit more roughly. Made a solid portion of pierogi, a portion of which I had taken over to Nadia and Cri’s to taste. The message that came later that evening confirmed that there is enthusiasm for Polish cuisine in Torcigliano. Pierogi were enjoyed at Casa Del Debbio. Shame I can’t offer them any of the ruskie ones, as Nadia has lactose intolerance.
