Directions

  1. Bring 1 ½-qt. water to boil; when water boils, drop pierogies in and cook according to package directions (usually 6-9 minutes). Next, wash and prep the broccoli, cutting into small florets.
  2. Place broccoli into a medium saucepan with ¼-cup of water. Bring to a boil and steam for about 3-4 minutes. Drain any remaining water and place slices of cheese on top of broccoli. Replace lid until cheese is melted.
  3. When pierogies are done cooking, drain and mix with the cheesy broccoli, sprinkling the Adobo, olive oil and grated Parmesan/Romano cheese on top.

Notes

*This recipe uses Adobo, a blend of salt and herbs. I think of Adobo as my “reach-for-it-anytime seasoning.” You can easily substitute salt for it, although the finished dish won't have quite the same flavorful punch. QQM Adobo starts with the best-quality salt—RealSalt™—and is hand-blended with select herbs. Check out Adobo in the QQM Store.
