Hungarian Fried Cabbage and Noodles
An authentic Hungarian fried cabbage and noodles recipe passed down by my grandmother who emigrated from Austria-Hungary... Also known as Haluska, Krautfleckerl, or Káposztás Tészta, this simple buttery caramelized cabbage recipe packs a lot of flavor for VERY little money!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package egg noodles
- 1 large green cabbage cored and sliced thinly
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the shredded cabbage, sprinkle about ½ teaspoon salt over it, and give it a stir. Cover and cook until the cabbage starts to wilt, stirring often.
- At this point, you can remove the lid and turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, and cook until the cabbage turns an amber color and starts to caramelize a bit. Stir the pepper in when the cabbage is just about finished cooking.
- In the meantime, cook the egg noodles in a pot of water according to the package instructions; drain well. Finally, fold the sauteed cabbage mixture into the cooked noodles.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Hungarian sweet paprika, as desired.
