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.

Pre-heat a large 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and brown the Kielbasa sausage slices on both sides. Remove the browned sausage from the pan and set aside.

Add the onion to the skillet and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté until they start to brown – about 5 minutes.

Bring the mixture to a boil and return the browned Kielbasa to the skillet.
