Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large white potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and diced
1 green bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and diced
1 large white onion, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large round ricotta stuffed ravioli*
1 pound mini-cheese ravioli*
1 pound medium round spinach ravioli *
1/2 head red cabbage, chopped in a food processor**
1/2 head green cabbage, chopped in a food processor **
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to boil for the potatoes and boil until tender. Drain well, cover and set aside.
  • Bring a separate pot of water to boil for each of the types of ravioli since their cooking times will vary. Boil the ravioli until they rise to the top and using a slotted spoon remove to drain. Toss with 1 to 3 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil as needed, to keep them from sticking, (reserving the other tablespoon). Cover and set aside.
  • To saute the cabbage and pierogi, heat 1 of the remaining tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the white cabbage and season with salt and pepper. If using red cabbage also, heat another of the remaining tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a separate large saute pan over medium heat, add the red cabbage, season with salt and pepper. Let the cabbage cook until very tender and until it begins to "sweeten." When the cabbage is tender, remove the cabbage to a bowl, add the ravioli to the same pan and saute very briefly.
  • To finish the Potatoes O'Brien, while the cabbage is sauteing, heat the oil in a large saute pan and saute the bell peppers and onion until the onion turns translucent. Stir in the par-boiled drained potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place some Potatoes O'Brien in the middle of a serving plate and spoon alternate portions of green cabbage and red cabbage around the potatoes. Top with pierogi.

F&W's Marcia Kiesel uses frozen pierogies in this rich but genius dish. I know, but it is OK once in a while! Comfort food at it's finest! UPDATE: 10/22/2009 have wanted to do this for a long time - so here goes: caramelize the onions and I added 1 more onion, used less oil 1/8 cup of vegetable oil, More to come :) Used 2-3 T of butter and used cooking spray wherever I could & then used maple-cured bacon. I change any recipe I have to make them lower in fat/calories etc. ;)

CABBAGE PIEROGI



Cabbage Pierogi image

Of all the Polish dishes Martha loves, her very favorite is cabbage pierogi. The sweet cabbage filling is time-consuming to make, but well worth the effort. This recipe is from "Entertaining," by Martha Stewart.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Yield Makes approximately 8 dozen dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup water
3 tablespoons sour cream
4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
10 pounds green cabbage, trimmed and cored
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbages into quarters. Steam until very tender, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and cool. In a strong but thin linen towel, squeeze as much of the liquid from the steamed cabbage as possible. Squeeze only a small handful at a time. Discard the juice.
  • Grind the squeezed cabbage with the fine blade of a meat grinder. Add the cream cheese and softened butter and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • To make the dough, whisk the egg, milk, water, and sour cream together. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after every addition. Turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. This may take 10 minutes. Add as little flour as possible. Put ball of dough under an inverted bowl until ready to use.
  • To make the pierogi, cut the dough into 4 pieces. On a floured board, roll one piece of dough into a round, 1/16 inch thick. Keep rest of dough covered. With a cookie cutter or glass tumbler (2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter), cut the dough into rounds. For each pierogi, take 1 round of dough, stretch it a bit with your fingers, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cabbage onto the center.
  • Fold the circle in half and press the edges together. Martha crimps the edges with her fingertips into a decorative pattern. Be sure to seal the edges well or the filling may fall out during cooking. Put finished dumplings on a towel or tray that has been lightly sprinkled with cornmeal. Continue rolling dough until all the filling has been used up.
  • Bring a very large kettle of water to the boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water and cook about 20 pierogi at one time in simmering water until they are tender and float (about 5 to 6 minutes). Remove to a serving dish with a slotted spoon and dribble with butter. Leftover pierogi can be reheated in the oven, or on top of the stove in a heavy skillet.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use russet potatoes. They have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for pierogi dough.
  • To make sure the potatoes are cooked through, pierce them with a fork before boiling.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or food processor.
  • To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, lightly flour your work surface.
  • When filling the pierogi, don't overstuff them. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal.
  • To seal the pierogi, press the edges together with a fork.
  • To prevent the pierogi from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease the pan with oil.
  • Cook the pierogi over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the pierogi with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, butter, or bacon bits.

Conclusion:

Pierogi are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a little planning, you can make pierogi ahead of time and freeze them for later. This makes them a convenient and easy meal option for busy families.
