Pierogies with Kielbalsa & Sauerkraut

Tonight I got a little adventurous and tried something new, something Polish: Pierogies with Kielbasa & Sauerkraut.  Until recently, I had never heard of Pierogies.  Thanks to one of the cookbooks I got for Christmas, "I Can't Believe It's Not Fattening," I now know.  Pierogies are kind of like ravioli, except in a different shape and filled with potato.  It was a surprisingly tasty, solid dinner.  I mean, I'm not even sure if I can correctly pronounce the ingredients, so I wasn't sure if it'd be good, but it was!  The brother even approved, which is major.  While it is relatively low-fat, it's not low sodium...so I wouldn't recommend eating it on a regular basis.  Here is the picture and the recipe:





Pierogies with Kielbasa & Sauerkraut:

1 (2 lb.) package of potato and cheddar pierogies (I used Mrs. T's)
1 (14 oz) package Turkey polska kielbasa, cut 
2 cups sauerkraut (the kind in a jar--NOT canned)

Follow preparation instruction on bag for pierogies.  Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray and saute pieces of polksa kielbasa and sauerkraut until polska kielbasa is warmed through with a few brown spots (more depending on how you like it).  Throw it all together once it's cooked!  (Serves 8--3 pierogies/serving)
