Serve & enjoy!
- Cook the Perogies: Boil the perogies according to the package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Guanciale & Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the guanciale and cook until it begins to render fat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the guanciale is crispy and the onions are golden and caramelized.
- Combine with Perogies: Gently add the cooked perogies to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and toss everything together, letting the flavors meld for 1-2 minutes.
- Finish & Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve with a side of sour cream for dipping. Enjoy!
Substitutions
- Guanciale: Use pancetta, bacon, or even prosciutto for a similar rich, salty flavor.
- Onions: Substitute with shallots, leeks, or green onions for a milder taste, or even garlic for a different but complementary flavor.
Equipment
- Large Pan, for Frying
- Knife & Cutting Board
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, sauté the perogies in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave briefly, adding a touch of butter or oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Top tips!
- Crisp It Up: After boiling, pat the perogies dry before adding to the skillet for a crispier texture.
2. Layer Flavors: Add a pinch of black pepper or chili flakes with the guanciale and onions for a subtle kick.
3. Serve Fresh: For the best taste and texture, enjoy the dish right after cooking—perogies tend to lose crispiness as they cool.
FAQ
Absolutely! Just cook the frozen perogies according to the package (usually boil until they float), then pat them dry. This quick step keeps them from getting soggy and helps them crisp up in the skillet with all that guanciale goodness.
