Dill Potatoes and Pork Belly Fried Varenyky Fried Varenyky With Pork Belly

🧂 Ingredients

1 Set a pot of salted water on a boil. In a pan on another burner add some olive
oil and the pork belly and onion. Put the frozen varenyky in the pot of boiling
water and put the pork belly and onion in the pan.
2 Salt and saute the pork belly and onion on medium high until both are fully
cooked. It should take about 6 minutes, which is the same amount of time the
varenyky needs to boil.
3 Remove the contents of the pan and set in a separate bowl. Add some sunflower
oil to the pan and bring up the heat. Drain the water from the pot of varenyky.
4 When the pan is hot add the varenyky one by one making sure they are not
touching each other. I fry them on each side for about 2 minutes, or until they
become deep golden brown. When they are finished set them in a colander or
strainer, salt them, and let the excess oil drip off.
5 Add the fried varenyky to the pot/bowl with the pork belly and onion. Mix
everything up and serve with a side of thick sour cream. Enjoy.
