Cabbage and Noodles
"A great side dish or a meal on its own. This is a Polish/Hungarian dish. Can use bacon but I cut back on that to make it meatless. Also can garnish with poppy seeds. Adding peas for color and nutrition. Bacon is a yummy addition for those that eat meat. Just brown drain most of the fat then add butter and oil and brown onions. Be sure to give the onions a nice brown color using a med high heat."

This was delicious Rita...I used freshly picked cabbage from my garden and made as written except for the peas....deer ate my peas. So, it was onion, cabbage and noodles with the butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. Lots of pepper as you stressed in the recipe. We had this with some grilled bratwurst for a very nice summer supper on the deck. Thanks so much for posting! -
It is just divine!<br/><br/>I have made this several time, but forgot to post a review. The first time, I added mushroom; because I had to use a few up.<br/><br/>The second time, made as is.<br/><br/>This time. NO peas, I was out, but I added some broth as the cabbage cooked. Also, the broth really got soaked up by the noodles which I liked. I also added some red pepper flakes to compensate, NO peas. I know different flavors, just wanted a little extra punch.<br/><br/>SO - overall, it doesn't matter, Follow it exactly, or do a couple of minor changes like me. I liked each and every time; and will make it over and over. <br/><br/>This is easily a main dish as well, served with a salad.<br/><br/>My fave ... those 'big thick' egg noodles. Nothing better. 10 stars for me! -
Amended from an earlier review: Being of Hungarian descent I grew up eating it, although without the peas; we called it Haluska, and we had cottage cheese on the side, which tastes awesome. Also, it was served as the main course, not a side dish. Another thing that really enhances the flavor is turning the heat up at the end and getting a good crisp on the bottom. Today I substitute whole wheat egg noodles to enhance the nutrition content. I only give this four stars for one reason, whenever it's cooking it always smells like there's going to be something even better in the pot (say stuffed cabbage?) and when I was a kid I was always dissappointed! -
Husband loved this Rita!! My mom made a similiar dish while we were growing up which everyone loved so I knew he would enjoy this. I did use farfelle noodles since we are vegan and I cut back on them a bit just because they are much heavier than egg noodles. Vegan butter spread worked just fine in place of the salted butter and we replaced some of the salt with spicy season salt. I served with jelly bread - we would always have fresh bread with homemade jelly along with peppery cabbage dishes. This was soooo easy to make, inexpensive, and totally filling!! The DH ejoyed the leftovers the next day just as much. Thanks so much for this keeper Rita!!! Recipenap for Veg*n Swap 28!!

DH and I absolutely enjoyed this recipe for dinner tonight. Made no modifications and thought none were needed. It was easy, required little prep, was flavorful, and great for a weeknight meal. We made the meatless version. I would definitely make again. Made for Sun and Spice 2013

It was delish. Did not have any peas as well but still an awesome dish. Thank You -
If you want to go Polish or Hungarian or Czech, add some kielbasa, either pre-cooked or fresh from the butcher. If using fresh, pre cook and then add to cabbage and onions a few minutes before they are done.

Wonderfu! I used whole wheat noodles, and subbed margarine for the butter, and was rewarded with a big bowl of pure comfort food. I sliced the onions rather than diced so they'd be the same shape as the cabbage once cooked, and I liked the way that worked out. I also used a regular (not non-stick) frying pan, which allowed the onions and cabbage to caramelize beautifully and add a lot of flavor. It does make a lot - I made half a batch and my deep 10-inch skillet was very full. Thank you for sharing this great recipe - it's definitely a keeper. -
this wasn't my family's favorite dish. but, i used red cabbage and bacon fat instead of the butter. we found it delish without the noodles. if making with red cabbage, add 1 tsp caraway seeds. the cabbage w/out noodles freezes and thaws wonderfully and is even better when reheated.
