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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Return the caramelized onions, browned kielbasa, and pierogies to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and heat everything through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle with fresh dill, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your New England Pierogies Dinner!
