Cabbage, Kielbasa And Pierogies

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 12 frozen potato and onion pierogies (1 box)
• 8 tablespoons butter or 8 tablespoons margarine
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 head cabbage, at least 2 1/2 lbs, cored & coarsely chopped
• salt and pepper
• 1 lb kielbasa, sliced 3/8 - 1/2 inch thick

Recipe

• 1 bring a large pot of water to a boil. add pierogies and boil for 5-7 minutes. pierogies should float to the surface when they are done, but that's not always true with today's frozen products - some float right away or within a minute or two. ignore that event and boil for at least 4-5 minutes to fully cook the filling.
• 2 remove pierogies with a slotted spoon and drain well.
• 3 while the water is heating for the pierogies, melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. add onion and saute until it softens, 3 - 5 minutes.
• 4 add cabbage and saute mixture 5 more minutes. season generously with salt and pepper.
• 5 stir in sliced kielbasa and continue to cook until cabbage is done and kielbasa flavors have melded with the mixture.
• 6 reduce temperature to warm. place cooked pierogies atop cabbage and season with pepper.
• 7 spoon some of the cabbage mixture over the pierogies to help them reheat. the dish is ready when the pierogies are heated through. serve warm.
