Ingredients

• 12 pieces Frozen pierogies
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium Yellow onions
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the onions into thin half-moons and mince the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh dill and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt and stir to coat in the butter and oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and golden brown.

Step 4

While the onions are caramelizing, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the frozen pierogies according to the package instructions, usually about 5 minutes, until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium and add the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release some of their juices.

Step 7

In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the cooked pierogies in a single layer and pan-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Transfer the pierogies to the skillet with the caramelized onions and tomatoes. Gently toss to coat in the mixture.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh dill just before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of sour cream.
