Pierogi filled with sauerkraut and dried wild mushrooms (often porcini). The Christmas Eve plate across Poland and the Wrocław classic the city's pierogi rooms cook year-round.
Pierogi with sauerkraut and mushrooms is the canonical Polish Christmas Eve filling, observed throughout the Catholic liturgy as a meat-free Wigilia plate. The sauerkraut runs through autumn's preservation tradition; the dried porcini lock in summer's mushroom foraging. Wrocław's pierogi rooms make the filling year-round; Christmas weeks see a tripling of orders at Hala Targowa stalls.
