Caraway Cabbage Stir Fry With Cheese Potato Pierogies Recipes

CARAWAY CABBAGE STIR-FRY WITH CHEESE & POTATO PIEROGIES

Steps:

• In large skillet or wok, heat oil over medium heat; stir-fry shredded cabbage, onion, carrot, bacon, vinegar, caraway seeds, salt and pepper for 3 minutes.
• Cover and cook just until cabbage is wilted, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange pierogies on cabbage mixture; cover and steam, turning pierogies once, until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with sour cream and chives.

FAUX PIEROGI OVER CABBAGE AND POTATOES O'BRIEN

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil for the potatoes and boil until tender. Drain well, cover and set aside.
• Bring a separate pot of water to boil for each of the types of ravioli since their cooking times will vary. Boil the ravioli until they rise to the top and using a slotted spoon remove to drain. Toss with 1 to 3 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil as needed, to keep them from sticking, (reserving the other tablespoon). Cover and set aside.
• To saute the cabbage and pierogi, heat 1 of the remaining tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the white cabbage and season with salt and pepper. If using red cabbage also, heat another of the remaining tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a separate large saute pan over medium heat, add the red cabbage, season with salt and pepper. Let the cabbage cook until very tender and until it begins to "sweeten." When the cabbage is tender, remove the cabbage to a bowl, add the ravioli to the same pan and saute very briefly.
• To finish the Potatoes O'Brien, while the cabbage is sauteing, heat the oil in a large saute pan and saute the bell peppers and onion until the onion turns translucent. Stir in the par-boiled drained potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
• Place some Potatoes O'Brien in the middle of a serving plate and spoon alternate portions of green cabbage and red cabbage around the potatoes. Top with pierogi.

PIEROGIES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving drippings, and set aside.
• Heat bacon drippings over medium heat and stir in cabbage and onion; cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes, vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and bacon; cook uncovered for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare pierogies according to package directions; drain. Combine pierogies with cabbage mixture and serve.

CARAWAY CABBAGE WITH SAUSAGE AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the butter and bacon.
• Add the onion, potato and cabbage and cook until cabbage is wilted.
• Add the caraway, vinegar and stock.
• Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 12 minutes.
• While simmering, lightly brown the sausage in another small skillet.
• Add the sausage to the cabbage mixture and cook all, uncovered, for another 6 minutes.
• Stir in the mustard and season with salt and pepper.

POTATO AND CHEESE PIEROGIES

Steps:

• For the dough: Work the egg, sour cream, butter and salt in a small bowl with a whisk or fork to form a batter. Pour the flour onto a work surface and make a well in the center. Add the sour cream mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands until a dough forms. (The dough is ready to use right away but if you are not forming the pierogies immediately, wrap in plastic and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.)
• For the filling: Stir together the mashed potatoes, cheese and chives in a medium bowl until well combined. Chill the filling so it is easier to work with.
• To form the pierogies: Roll the dough mass out to 1/8-inch thickness and cut 3-inch rounds. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling in each round, and then fold over into half-moons, being careful not to push filling into the seam. Press closed and crimp with a fork if scalloped edges are preferred.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pierogies and wait until they float, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chives and a crack of black pepper.

POTATO PIEROGI WITH CABBAGE AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in cabbage and salt to taste and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, or until cabbage is very tender and beginning to brown. Stir in vinegar and 1 tablespoon parsley.
• While cabbage is cooking, heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook pierogi until bottoms are golden. Turn pierogi over and add water to skillet. Simmer until water is evaporated and bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. (If pierogi are large, cook in 2 batches, using half of butter and water for each batch.) Stir in remaining tablespoon parsley.
• Serve potato pierogi over cabbage mixture.

CABBAGE WITH CARAWAY

Steps:

• Cook the cabbage in boiling water for 3 mins until tender, then drain. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 mins until starting to soften and turn golden. Sprinkle over the caraway seeds and cook for a further 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the cabbage and heat through.
