5 Easy Pierogies Recipes & Weekday Recipe Ideas: 2/15

posted by QuickMealHelp.com on Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012

Some of my favorite and quickest ideas for dinner begin with a 'starter' from the freezer. Frozen foods like pierogies, ravioli or tortellini are super starters that offer flexibility and versatility. Not only can you choose your cooking style (boiled or pan-fried), you can also adjust the accompanying protein (for both meat lovers and vegetarians).

Today's weekday recipe ideas center around pierogies as the starter (see recipes below):

Beans • drain and rinse one can of black beans, butter beans or kidney beans; add to pierogies and sauce, heat until warmed through

Beef • Easy Meatball Recipe (serve separately or add to pierogies and sauce)

Pasta • 1. Pierogies Recipe: Italian-style

             2. Pierogies Recipe: Greek-style with Spinach & Feta

             3. Pierogies Recipe: Sausage-n-Onion (see recipe below)

             4. Pierogies Recipe: Broccoli-Cheese

             5. Pierogies Recipe: with Ham

Pork • thinly sliced tenderloin, lightly breaded in flour/cornmeal and pan-fried in small amount of oil; season with onion powder and pepper; serve alongside your favorite pierogies

Tofu • baked tofu; serve alongside pierogies (if there's any tofu leftover: great to munch on cold - snacking and sandwiches)

Veggies (cooked) • broccoli, lightly boiled in small amount of water for 3-4 minutes; drain any remaining water and top with one slice of pepper-jack cheese

Seitan • heat briefly in microwave and toss in with pierogies and sauce
