Haluski - Cabbage & Noodles
Haluski - Cabbage & Noodles
Pronounced ha-LOOSH-key, refers to the cabbage and noodle dish that's cooked in a generous amount of butter. It’s a Polish (as well as Ukrainian, Slovakian and Romanian) comfort food that's incredibly easy to make and consists of just four simple ingredients. I like to add garlic so make that five simple ingredients! The onions and cabbage lend a subtle sweetness to the luscious buttery noodles. It’s quick, easy, and filling and can be served as a side dish or as the main course. For a dish with just a few ingredients you’ll be amazed at how delicious it is.
Halusky - is a similar Slovakian version made with dumplings and most likely was the predecessor to this one made with “egg” or wide noodles.
