Actually, I've made an illegal quantity of perogies. It is basically dough, salt, and water. As an adhesive, a dish with beaten egg whites works. Use it as glue so they "stick" together. (i.e. dip brush into beaten egg white and brush lightly filled dough package edge interior prior to pressing shut and boiling in salted water.)

Re: Mushroom filling.

If you put the mushrooms in the food processor with maybe a little onion/garlic/herbs/salt/pepper...heat on stove top, etc. and then cool& stuff, it would work. It would be really good, too. The mushrooms taste so savory and meaty...better than meat! (It's so rich, it's unbelievable!)

I always thought popeye pesto (i.e. spinach puree) with a little potatoe would be a really good filling. Ditto for broccoli puree with potatoe or even carrot/potatoe or beet/potatoe. Weird.

Perogies with fruit are really good too. My grandmother makes these. Blueberry, cherry, etc.

That use of oil to prevent separation is absurd and unnecessary--although my one grandmother does it. (I wouldn't go near the smell of her perogies!!!)
Just lay them flat on something to cool individually and then freeze--they freeze well. If you let them cool without sticking together than they won't stick.

Re: Borscht. It's a good day for borscht!!!
I skip the cabbage and sub. spinach or chard--much friendlier!!! I like you're use of rice milk/soy milk sub.
Must try.

YOU'RE AMAZING!!!

Kate, IBS-D.
