My Grandmothers Cabbage And Noodles Recipes

KRAUTFLECKERL- HUNGARIAN CABBAGE AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Mix the salt and cabbage together and let stand 30 minutes.
• Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Heat the butter in a deep skillet, add the onions, cabbage, sugar and pepper.
• Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until cabbage is browned, about 25/30 minutes.
• Add the noodles and toss to blend thoroughly.
• Note: To reduce fat, you can use just 1 tablespoon butter and saute the cabbage for a few minutes, then finish with a little chicken stock, stirring frequently.

MY CABBAGE AND NOODLES

Steps:

• FOR THE NOODLES.
• While preparing the cabbage cook noodels according to package directions and when drained, cut crosswise with a knife to get 1-2 inch sized pieces. OR break noodles into pieces before cooking.
• FOR CABBAGE.
• Have all ingredients ready before you start cooking the cabbage. Heat oil over medium high heat in a wide pot that will hold cabbage and noodles.
• Add sugar and let caramelize without stirring until golden to light brown. Immediately add onion and butter and stir until soft, 30-60 seconds.
• Add vinegar and cook until almost all has cooked off.
• Add cabbage, caraway and salt. Mix until cabbage has wilted and looks glazed, 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and reduce heat to medium low.
• Braise cabbage in as little water as possible until desired softness, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary. Cabbage should be rather dry when done.
• Taste with salt, pepper, and sugar or vinegar.
• TO ASSEMLE.
• Mix drained noodles into cabbage. Cover and let flavors blend for 2 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper on top for a nicer look.
