Dumplings with sausage and broccoli in a frying pan topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 350 g raw sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 450 g frozen or chilled vareniki, preferably with potatoes and cheese
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 350 g broccoli florets, large ones cut in half or into quarters
- 1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
Preparation:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, reserving the fat in the skillet. Add the pierogi to the skillet and cook, turning, until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the sausage.
- Add the onion, oregano, and a generous pinch each of salt and black pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the onion is softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Move the onion to one side of the skillet; add another 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the broccoli to the empty space. Season the broccoli with salt and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the broccoli and onion and cook until the broccoli is bright green with crisp-tender stems, 5 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper to the pan and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Return the sausage and pierogi to the pan and add the garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook, stirring, until evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper and add 2 tablespoons of Parmesan.
- Divide the dumplings and vegetables among plates or shallow bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
