What is the origin of haluski?

Answer 1

Haluski is a Noodles and Cabbage dish of Polish and Slovakian origin although there is some argument from the Ukrainians and Hungarians. Never-the-less it is a classic comfort food that is sure to be a favorite around your home.

The traditional method is to make your own noodles and they even make a Haluski noodle maker. I'm satisfied with package noodles however. You can find many different recipes on line but if you begin with the basic recipe you can add your own touch to it later.

Here's the basic recipe.

Ingredients

4 cups wide egg noodles

4 Tbs butter or margarine

4 Tbs olive oil

2 cups sliced sweet onions, about 1/8 inch thick

2 teaspoons sugar

6 cups cabbage, sliced thin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 tsp crushed pepper

Directions:

1 Cook egg noodles according to package directions, then drizzle with a bit of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together and set aside.

2 While noodles are cooking, melt butter with olive oil in large deep skillet over medium-low heat.

3 Add onion, sprinkle with sugar and saute, stirring occasionally for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until softened and just beginning to turn golden.

4 Add cabbage to skillet, stirring well to incorporate with onion, and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5 Turn heat back to medium, add cooked noodles, salt and pepper, and stir well until noodles are heated though.

6 Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot.
