Haluski (Cabbage and Noodles)

Haluski is a Polish dish consisting of noodles and cabbage that I learned from a roommate from central Pennsylvania.  When I saw those cabbages in my share, I knew I needed to make this recipe again.  It’s extremely simple and delicious as it is, but can also be varied.  It’s great comfort food for a recession.

Ingredients

1 csa cabbage, cut into ribbons

1 onion chopped 1 stick butter (4 ounces or 8 tablespoons)  I know, it sounds like a lot on paper, but it’s really yummy

Salt to taste, start with about ½ teaspoon

1 pound noodles, cooked and drained- I prefer to use fettucine, but egg noodles or home made noodles are traditional

Directions

Saute the chopped onion in butter in a large skillet. I prefer to use cast iron. When the onion is translucent, add the cabbage ribbons and continue to saute until the cabbage is soft. When the cabbage-onion mixture is soft, toss it in with the already cooked noodles and serve. Serving Suggestion:  I enjoyed my haluski with some powdered chitpotle.

Variation: After the onion is sauteed, add one pound of ground beef from the csa and brown until cooked.  Then add cabbage and continue as above.
