Pierogi with Ham and Broccoli
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces deli-sliced ham, cut into thin strips
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 16 -ounce package frozen potato-cheese pierogi
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 3 ounces)
- Melt the butter in a large broiler-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the ham and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts browning, about 2 minutes.
- Add the broth and bring to a simmer; cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the pierogi and broccoli.
- Cover and cook until the pierogi are warm and the broccoli is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, chives and paprika in a small bowl; set aside.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Uncover the skillet and sprinkle with the cheese.
- Transfer to the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and the pierogi are slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve with the sour cream sauce.
