Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) green cabbage
- 1 large yellow onion
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Core the cabbage and shred it into thin strips. Peel and finely chop the onion.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Stir everything together, and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is golden brown and caramelized.
Once the cabbage is cooked and caramelized, add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated with the caramelized cabbage mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to preference.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Halushki is delicious as is, or served alongside a protein like sausage or roast chicken.
