Haluski
A simple one-pan take on the classic cabbage, butter and sausage dish, served over egg noodles.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb hot Italian sausage (bacon, regular sausage, or pork belly also work; use a fatty meat)
- 1 large white onion or 2 small onions, chopped (shallots are even better)
- 1 to 1¼ sticks (8 to 10 tbsp) butter, divided
- 1 large head of cabbage, shredded or chopped
- Garlic, minced, to taste
- Dried basil, oregano, salt and black pepper, to taste
- For serving
- Egg noodles
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Brown the meat and onions. Add the onions, about half a stick of butter, and the sausage to a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions turn translucent and the meat is cooked through. Season with salt and garlic.
-
Add the cabbage. Once everything has cooked down, add the cabbage, the remaining butter, and any leftover onion. Turn the heat to high.
-
Steam. Cover and let it steam on high for about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.
-
Season. Stir in the basil, oregano and black pepper.
-
Simmer. Cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring often. Frequent stirring is the key here, since it helps the cabbage soak up all the fat and flavor.
-
Cook the noodles. While the cabbage simmers, boil the egg noodles according to the package directions and drain.
-
Serve. Plate the noodles first and spoon the haluski over the top. Be sure to add some of the pan juices to each plate. Finish with Parmesan to taste.

From Our Kitchen
Variations: The traditional version is just bacon, butter and cabbage over noodles or rice. For more kick, add fennel, cayenne or kale. For a low-carb meal, skip the noodles. It is great on its own.
