halushki, the best comfort food ever!



Growing up in a Slovak and German family, we ate a lot of halushki. It is basically at every family party. I happen to love it, and so does my husband. If you have never tried it, give it a shot! It is unbelievably easy to make! And if this is a dish your family makes, learn how for yourself so you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to have it!

You’ll need:
2 heads of cabbage
1 bag of egg noodles
2 sticks of margarine or butter
(yeah, that’s seriously it)

Shred the cabbage into small pieces. Make sure to remove the hard yucky hearts. The won’t cook down as well. In a LARGE pan, melt one stick of butter and start adding the cabbage. I fry my cabbage on medium-high. This takes a long time. It’s a lot of cabbage, just keep stirring it around and it will cook down. About half way through, I add another stick of butter. Salt and pepper the cabbage often. You want it to cook down to a greenish brown color and it to be totally soft.
In the meantime, bowl a large pot of water. Add the egg noodles and cook them as directed. When the noodles are soft, drain. Add the cabbage to the large pot and put the noodles back in. Salt and pepper as needed, sometimes I add more butter if it seems like everything isn’t as coated as I’d like. Mix it well and enjoy! BEST.COMFORT.FOOD.EVER.
