Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) green cabbage
• 1 large yellow onion
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Core the cabbage and shred it into thin strips. Peel and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Stir everything together, and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is golden brown and caramelized.

Step 5

Once the cabbage is cooked and caramelized, add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated with the caramelized cabbage mixture.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to preference.

Step 7

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Halushki is delicious as is, or served alongside a protein like sausage or roast chicken.
