I have eaten Cabbage and Noodles for over 70 yrs. Learned to make this from my Grandma and Mother. We don't make it with bacon and onions. Too much fat with the bacon. I fry the shredded cabbage in butter until almost brown and tender, then mix into the cooked broad noodles. I have passed this on to my 3 sons and dil's. It is one of their favorites especially during Lent.
Drain some of that grease. A half pound of bacon makes for a lot of grease. Use just a couple of tablespoons. In fact, cook the onion in 1 tablespoon, then add another for the cabbage. This is even good if use the pre-cooked bacon, and cook the onion and cabbage in olive oil instead.
Hi, just so you know this is not an Irish recipe, this is however Hungarian. And, this is a good recipe.
Delicious! I actually saw this recipe on Diners Drive-ins and Dives.....and thought it sounded really good....came here to see if a recipe existed....and here you go.....very tasty! Family really liked it......simple ingredients and easy to make....especially since we love cabbage....Thanks!
I made this a couple of weeks ago and followed the recipe to a T. The only thing that I added was a little more bacon then just drained a little bit of the bacon grease out. (My family loves bacon). It turned out amazing! We will be fixing it again this week.
We call these "Nancy Noodles" because Nancy introduced them to us!! WONDERFUL comfort food. Don't forget to season them...salt/pepper/garlic and lot's of butter!! Forget your diet and cholesterol levels!!
Haluska as it is known in Hungarian is found throughout Eastern Europe and can be made as a main dish with bacon,sausage or ham,and as a side dish without meat for pork chops, cutlets, or roasts. Another variation would be to add boiled potatoes to the fried cabbage with or without pasta and/or meat. I use only a small amount of bacon fat as a base flavoring utilizing more butter and/ or oil. One other reviewer correctly mentioned "squeezing" the chopped cabbage but didn't explain further. As the cabbage is cut place it in a colander by handful layers and salting each layer with kosher salt. After last salted layer, press the cabbage down with your hands a few times and let it sit for at least a half hour. Salting the cabbage will cause wilting and draw out bitter fluids. Squeeze the cabbage out by handfuls and place in the prepared fry pan. I've never had to add sugar using this method and the cabbage will fit into the pan. Do not cover the pan and fry until the cabbage just starts to brown and carmelize.This won't take long as a reult of salting and squeezing. Then, remove from heat. Whatever pasta you use, treat it as you would in Italian cooking. Have the cabbage ready and add the drained and unrinsed pasta to it. If you have access to a European deli, get some single smoked sausage, slice it thin and add to the cabbage near the end of cooking just to warm it through. One bite of that and.....
This turner out to be very good ....with a few changes. I added some smoked sausage and topped it with Louisiana hot sauce. The whole family loved it. Jim
