CABBAGE, KIELBASA AND PIEROGIES
I love pierogies and they finish this cabbage-kielbasa saute perfectly. I know there are plenty of really good cabbage, kielbasa and potato recipes, but the pierogies in this dish just melt in your mouth. Not a diet dish, but a delicious comfort food meal. I got the recipe from a PBS home cooking special and have loved it ever since. Note that cooking start times overlap in this recipe. Reduce the amount of butter if desired.

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.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality bacon and fresh cabbage.
- If you don't have a potato ricer, you can grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.
- Be careful not to overcook the pierogies. They should be cooked until they are just tender, about 3 minutes per side.
- Serve the pierogies immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, butter, or fried onions.
- To make the pierogies ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the pierogies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the pierogies in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
Conclusion:
Pierogies with cabbage, bacon, and onions are a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful filling, pierogies are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Whether you're making them from scratch or using store-bought dough, these pierogies are sure to be a hit.
