Instructions
Here’s how to create the exquisite Pierogi and Meatball Skillet:
1. Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re golden brown.
2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Brown the Meatballs: Add the meatballs into the skillet and cook them for around 5-7 minutes until they’re browned on all sides.
4. Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the skillet, ensuring the meatballs are mostly covered. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Cook the Pierogi: Carefully place the frozen pierogi into the skillet. Stir gently to ensure they are coated in the broth.
6. Season: Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and allow the mixture to cook for about 10-15 minutes. Ensure the pierogi are heated through and tender.
7. Add Sour Cream: Lower the heat and mix in the sour cream until well combined, creating a creamy sauce for the dish.
8. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added color and flavor.
9. Serve: Scoop the Pierogi and Meatball Skillet into bowls and serve hot.
