Varenyky
Ukraine's most beloved comfort food, varenyky are tender half-moon dumplings that can be filled with nearly anything: fluffy mashed potatoes and farmer's cheese, savory sauerkraut, sweet cherries, or even ground meat. The dough is silky and pliable, yielding a delicate wrapper that cushions the filling. Boiled until they float, then tossed with caramelized onions and sour cream, varenyky are a dish that binds generations of Ukrainian families.
