Preparation
Step 1
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.
