Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces frozen pierogies (potato and cheese flavor)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 14 ounces smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen pierogies and cook according to package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cooked pierogies in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pierogies from the skillet and set aside.
Add the sliced kielbasa sausage to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove and set aside with the pierogies.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet. Pour in the chicken stock, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Return the caramelized onions, browned kielbasa, and pierogies to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and heat everything through for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh dill, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your New England Pierogies Dinner!
