I’m a sucker for pierogies. I think it started when I was young, growing up in Alberta where I had a friend of Ukranian heritage. We used to go visit her grandmother in Red Water and she would make homemade pierogies, which we would eat with reckless abandon.

Ingredients
- 1 1-pound bag of sauerkraut
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 pound Polish Kielbasa sausage cut into 1-inch slices
- ½ onion sliced
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1½ cups chicken stock or beer
- 1 1-pound bag frozen potato and cheese filled pierogies
- 1 cup grated white Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
- chopped scallions
Instructions
-
Pre-heat a 6-quart multi-function pressure cooker using the BROWN of SAUTE setting.
-
Add the oil and brown the kielbasa sausage slices on both sides. Remove the browned sausage from the cooker and set aside.
-
Add the onions to the cooker and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté until they start to brown – about 5 minutes. (If your cooker doesn’t have a brown setting, use a skillet on the stovetop for the steps above and transfer the contents to the cooker now.) Add the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, chicken stock or beer, reserved sauerkraut liquid, stone-ground mustard and browned kielbasa to the cooker and stir well. Add the pierogies, nestling them into the sauerkraut and onions. Cover and lock the lid in place.
-
Pressure-cook on HIGH for 4 minutes.
-
Release the pressure using the QUICK-RELEASE method and carefully remove the lid. Transfer the mixture to a large serving dish and sprinkle the Cheddar and Swiss cheeses over the top. Cover with aluminum foil for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Top with the chopped scallions and enjoy!
