Out of all the pierogi that I make, the sauerkraut is our favorite.
This is a quick way to get all the flavors of sauerkraut pierogi without having to make the dumplings. I’ve seen quite a few recipes for “lazy sauerkraut pierogi” using spiral macaroni and mushroom soup. You could add some sauteed mushrooms to this dish – but no soup -!
I used my Mom’s Sauerkraut recipe, but you could use it plain or add a bit of bacon!
1 – 12 oz. pkg. No Yolks dumpling noodles (or noodles or your choice), cooked according to package directions.
1 recipe Grandma’s Sauerkraut
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stick unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
Sour Cream (optional)
Prepare Grandma’s Sauerkraut. If it is a little too much sauerkraut for you, save some for hot dogs!
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and saute until light golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add cooked noodles, sauerkraut, 1/2 cup of sauerkraut juice and stir well to combine.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and a dollop of sour cream.
