When it comes to cooking, the fewer dishes required, the better. I’ve conversed with a few different folks about how frustrating it is to consider how long it takes to prep and cook a meal, then clean up, versus how long it takes to actually consume it, and the realization is a wee bit disheartening at times. Hence why I love a one-pot or dish dinner.
Combining my love for European food with efficiency is a merge I can’t resist, and so when I came across a recipe for a Pierogi and Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner from thepioneerwoman.com, I had to share.
“Ingredients
- 1/2 medium head green cabbage, cored and sliced thin
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
- 1/2 c. olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper. divided
- 1 lb. frozen pierogies
- 1 lb. kielbasa sausage, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp. stone-ground Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. honey
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill or parsley
- Sour cream, to serve
“Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a half sheet pan with foil.
- In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper until well combined. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In the same bowl, toss the frozen pierogies with 2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until the pierogies are well coated. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet along with the sliced kielbasa.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Stir the cabbage and flip the pierogies. Bake until the cabbage is golden and the kielbasa and pierogies are crispy, 20 to 30 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the remaining ¼ cup oil until well combined. Drizzle half of the dressing over the cabbage, pierogies, and kielbasa, tossing to combine. Top with dill or parsley and serve hot with the remaining dressing and sour cream,” the recipe explains.
You’re welcome.
