Best 6 Pierogies And Cabbage Recipes

PIEROGIES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving drippings, and set aside.
• Heat bacon drippings over medium heat and stir in cabbage and onion; cover and cook for 10 minutes.

CABBAGE, KIELBASA AND PIEROGIES

Steps:

• 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.
• Remove pierogies with a slotted spoon and drain well.
• 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.
• Add cabbage and saute mixture 5 more minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Stir in sliced kielbasa and continue to cook until cabbage is done and kielbasa flavors have melded with the mixture.
• Reduce temperature to warm. Place cooked pierogies atop cabbage and season with pepper.
• 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.

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté half of pierogies, turning over once, until golden, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté remaining pierogies in same manner, transferring to platter.
• Cook bacon in same skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, 6 to 8 minutes, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then add remaining tablespoon oil and sauté onion over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate, then stir in garlic, cabbage, water, and salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
