A quick and hearty skillet meal with golden pan-fried frozen pierogi, caramelized onions, sweet peppers, and savory vegan sausage. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s comforting, flavorful, and endlessly versatile.

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons butter or grapeseed oil, divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1½ cups)
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 plant-based sausages (about 7 oz / 200 g)
  • 10–12 frozen pierogi
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook 10 minutes until soft and caramelized. Transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, cook sausages 5–6 minutes until browned. Slice into thick rounds once cooled slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pierogi according to package directions (about 5 minutes, until they float). Drain well.
  4. Add remaining 2 teaspoons butter or oil to skillet. Pan-fry pierogi 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Return onions, peppers, and sausage to skillet. Toss gently with pierogi and warm through.
  6. Serve hot with sour cream, if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh pierogi instead of frozen—just reduce boiling time.
  • Add sauerkraut, mushrooms, zucchini, or chili peppers for variety.
  • For extra richness, sprinkle with dill or parsley before serving.
  • Try different pierogi fillings such as potato, cheese, mushroom, or sauerkraut.
  • Swap sour cream for plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free sour cream.
