POLISH STIR-FRY- RACHAEL RAY (VEGETARIAN VERSION)
From Food Network website. I have changed this to be a vegetarian dish. You can substitute vegetarian kielbasa with the real thing, of course. I have made this a couple of times, and the taste changes depending on the type of pierogis used. You can use beet leaves rather than kale, if you'd like. This is a great way to use up some of those winter greens! I often leave out the kielbasa all together as there is only two of us here and it is just too large of a dish with it included. Vegetarian kielbasa is available under the Tofurkey and Boca brands at your local health food store (at least in California!)You can also order it online.

POLISH STIR-FRY
This recipe originated as Rachael Ray's friend Jon's Polish Stir Fry, but I found out I really don't care for kale. Since I really liked the idea of a Polish Stir Fry I substituted kale with beet tops, and came out with a much better flavor (at least for me).
