Gluten Free Vegan Perogies
Just because you might have a gluten sensitivity doesn’t mean that you should miss out on these delicious Polish dumplings with a twist!
Servings: 32 Perogies
Ingredients
Dough:
- 1¼ cup Organic White Rice Flour
- 1 cup Tapioca Starch
- 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- ¾ cup Water
- ¼ cup Coconut Beverage (Unsweetened)
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Filling:
- 1 Large Organic Sweet Potato (Boiled and Peeled)
- ½ Large Organic Onion (Diced)
- 3 Organic Green Onions (Sliced on the Bias)
- 2 tbsp Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Organic Sweet Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Sea Salt to Taste
- Black Pepper to Taste
Cooking:
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (Butter Flavoured)
Instructions
Dough:
- Combine all of the dry dough ingredients in a bowl and mix in the wet until a dough ball is formed.
- Roll out the dough ball to about 2mm thickness and cut out 32 rounds using a round cookie cutter or a ring mold.
- During this process you will need to re-form the dough ball from all of the scraps and keep cutting out rounds until you have used up all of the dough.
Filling:
- In a large sauté pan, combine all of the filling ingredients, leaving out the sweet potato and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In a large bowl, mash up the boiled and peeled sweet potato and combine with the cooked filling ingredients.
Assembly:
- Place a tablespoon amount of filling on each of the cut out dough rounds and fold in half.
- Using the tip of a fork, seal off the edge of each perogie.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook all of the pierogis for 5-7 minutes.
- Strain off the perogie and pat dry.
- In a large sauté pan, heat up butter flavoured coconut oil and cook perogies over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side.
- Enjoy with some “Tofutti” Sour Cream.

A must try ! I love perogies but don’t need the gluten in some comercial prepared perogies.
Will try with plain yogurt instead of tofu.
Thanks for commenting, Jackie – they were definitely tasty, so we hope it goes well!

What does coconut beverage mean? Can I use water?
Hi, Lidia!
Coconut Beverage is a milk replacement; you can substitute a skim or 2% milk if you prefer!

I wonder if white rice flour can be replaced with brown…
Hi Veronika,
We haven’t personally tried it in our recipe. But if you try it, please let us know how it turns out!

Hi, i tried this recipe today and followed it to a tea, and when i was assembling them i couldn’t boil them because the dough kept breaking! Im so disappointed lol, i don’t know what went wrong.. 🙁 However i did bake them and they turned out alright, however because i baked them, they ended up a bit too crunchy.
