Ingredients

3 tablespoons softened butter
1 package frozen pierogis, potato filled dumplings -- any brand or variety
1 1/2 pounds kielbasa, cut in large slices on an angle
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 tablespoon butter
1 large red onion, quartered and sliced
1 1/2 pounds kale, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 pound sauerkraut, drained
1 teaspoon ground mustard or 2 tablespoons prepared spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1/3 palm full
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill leaves
2 tablespoons chopped chives
A handful of parsley leaves, chopped
1 cup sour cream

Directions

Cover the bottom of a skillet with softened butter. Arrange pierogis in the pan in a single layer. Add 1 cup water to the pan. Cover pan and place over medium high heat. Cook covered 8 minutes, remove lid and cook out any liquid in the pot.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Brown kielbasa and remove from pan. Cover kielbasa with foil to keep warm. Drain fat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Raise heat to high. Add onion to the pan and saute for a few minutes to soften. Add chopped kale in batches as it wilts into the pan. When kale is wilted, add sauerkraut. Season stir-fry with mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Return kielbasa to pan. Toss to combine and transfer to a serving platter.

Let the pierogis "stick" and brown in the butter as the liquid evaporates. Remove crisp pierogis from heat to a plate.

Stir together the chopped herbs and sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Serve with pierogis.

YUM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

You can't think of this as a typical kielbasa and pierogi dish. It's more like what it's called, a stir fry, with all of... those delish polish flavors. My husband is German, so he's a die hard fan of sauerkraut. Me? Not so much. The kale and paprika really balance it out here though. This is one of my favorite, quick, comfort meals, and I cook ALOT! And hey, you can never get enough greens, especially when they taste this good. Thanks Rach! I never would have thought of this on my own.Read more

Nothing to get excited about
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I found it to be bland and not inexpensive either. It is filling though and yields a good amount for leftovers if you need to... stretch a dollar (don't we all?). I used potato cheddar pierogis. Perhaps I should have used potato and garlic pierogis? The prep was easy. I won't be making this again, however. Too boring.Read more

Who Knew
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was the first time I ever tried something like this. I found it quite good with a few modifications. Like many of the... rest of you, I cut down on the oil & butter. I also doubled the paprika & mustard, as I found the stir fry a bit bland before. As for the Pierogis, they are ok, but I prefer to use cheese ravioli's cooked exactly the same way!Read more

So Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I both loved this Stir-fry. I didn't try the Pot stickers b/c the stir fry was such a hearty meal. Will... definitely make again.Read more
