A hearty platter featuring tender potato pierogies, savory sautéed cabbage and onions, and flavorful sliced sausage, perfect for comforting family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Coarsely slice the green cabbage and discard tough ribs.
- Thinly slice the onion.
- In hot salad oil, cook the cabbage, onion, salt, and black pepper for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add sliced Polska kielbasa to the cooked vegetables and cook until sausage is heated through.
- Cook frozen potato pierogies according to package instructions and serve alongside the sautéed cabbage, onion, and sausage with cut tomatoes on the side.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or caraway seeds to the sautéed cabbage and onion. If you want a vegetarian option, substitute Polska kielbasa with a plant-based sausage or omit it altogether. You can also use fresh or leftover cooked potatoes instead of frozen pierogies for a homemade touch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the potato dumplings hot alongside the sautéed cabbage, onion, and sausage. Fresh cut tomatoes add a refreshing contrast to the dish. This platter pairs beautifully with Marinated Chinese Vegetables for a vibrant, colorful meal. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can elevate the flavors even more.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sautéed cabbage, onion, and sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. The pierogies can be reheated in boiling water or a microwave for a quick meal.
