Here’s a simple and classic recipe for cabbage and noodles (often called “Haluski” in Eastern European cuisine”) — quick, comforting, and flavorful:
Ingredients:
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
- 12 oz (340 g) egg noodles or wide pasta
- 4 tablespoons butter (or more to taste)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, or ½ cup cooked bacon/ham for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Cook the noodles:
- Boil the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the cabbage:
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
- Add shredded cabbage, salt, pepper, and optional caraway seeds. Cook 8–10 minutes until cabbage is tender but not mushy.
- Combine:
- Add the cooked noodles to the cabbage and onions. Toss well to coat everything with butter and seasoning.
- Optional: Stir in cooked bacon or ham for a richer flavor.
- Serve hot:
- Perfect as a side dish or a main with a simple protein.
If you want, I can also give a one-pot slow cooker version of cabbage and noodles for a hands-off approach that keeps it soft and flavorful. Do you want me to share that?
