I’ll be honest, I had never heard of Haluski before until one day I was googling recipes for inspiration on how to use up my week old leftover cabbage in the fridge, so there’s no heart felt nostalgia or travel memory associated with this dish to fill up this post. I simply saw it, tested a few recipes, and decided on this version that I’m sharing today because it’s tasty.
From my Google research, Haluski is a central/eastern European dish with arguable origins of either Poland, Solvakia, Hungary, or Ukraine – Toby thinks there’s even a Czech version too. It’s essentially bacon, onions, and cabbage cooked in butter and bacon fat, then mixed with fresh cooked egg noodles. It’s quick and easy, a little oily (from the butter and bacon fat), and definitely delicious. Give it a try!
Anyways, without further ado, here’s the recipe! If you have any comments or suggestions, I’d love to hear from you in the comment section! You can follow me on instagram, youtube and facebook to see all the recipes I post!
Happy cooking!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 3 Tbsps butter
- 400g (~6 strips) of thick cut bacon, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 med cabbage (~1kg), cored and diced
- 4 portions (~10oz) of egg noodles – or alternatively nokedli
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Kosher salt to taste
Directions:
In a large skillet on MED-HIGH heat, melt the butter until it starts to lightly brown – you’ll smell the aroma of brown butter.
Then add in the bacon and sauté until browned and lightly crispy.
Next, add the garlic and onions. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and lightly browned.
Next, add in the diced cabbage and sauté for 8-10 minutes until the cabbage has softened and lightly browned.
While the cabbage is cooking, cook the egg noodles in salted water according to package instructions. When cooked, drain and set aside.
Once the cabbage has cooked, add in the cooked egg noodles, freshly ground black pepper, and a big pinch of salt. Mix it around and taste to adjust salt as needed. Done!
