Haluski
Haluski is a traditional Hungarian dish made with noodles, cabbage and bacon. It's quick and easy not to mention easy on the budget.
Ingredients
- 2 cups egg noodles, uncooked ½ pound
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 slices bacon
- 5 cups cabbage, finely diced about half a small
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the first ½ teaspoon of salt. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. When done, drain the noodles and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium and add bacon. Cook until it is no longer floppy but not crispy either, turning often. Remove the bacon and set on paper towels to drain.
- Meanwhile in the same skillet, reserve the bacon fat. Add the cabbage and cook on medium, stirring frequently. Add the ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Fry the cabbage until it becomes soft and just starts to change color; this takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile chop the bacon into little pieces and add it to the cabbage. Lower the heat and add the cooked noodles. Toss together well to heat the bacon and noodles through. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
