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.

CABBAGE PIEROGI

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.
