NOODLES, CABBAGE AND ONIONS - HALUSHKI
There must be dozens recipes out there, all made by their grandmother's and mother's, who were Polish,Ukranian, Hungarian, Russian or from others who have some other Eastern European background, but I decided I would add mine which my grandfather, from Rumania, used to make with me in our home in Cuba. My father would just melt when I made this and we served it with brisket and gravy, not that the dish needed anything else. In spite of what the directions may seem this is a quickie noodle dish. UPDATE: 12/27/07 just made this again and I used microwaveable(sp) turkey bacon(special request)and I used crushed red pepper flakes and it was great! We enjoyed it so much and I still would like more since I am only allowed a bite!!! "UP-UPDATE" 04/18/09 - have corrected the tiny grammatical error, thanks for the tip! ;)

Steps:
- 1. In a very large flatter pan melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Saute until onion is clear, being careful the butter doesn't burn. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in another pot of salted water to al dente'. Drain. Cut up the cabbage in approximately 1 inch pieces and add to the butter and onions add salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat stirring often, until the cabbage is soft and looks done (it will start to brown a little). Add the noodles and stir until well coated with the butter. Enjoy !!
- 2. Usually, I double this recipe because we like it so much. I also send some over to our neighbor who is also a big fan. If I double it, I only use 3 sticks of butter not 4 then stir really well. This is also better the next day. Just heat it up in the microwave. YUM YUM!!

This recipe is a traditional slovak dish used on meatless days. Growing up we had this on Fridays in Lent. The secret is to brown the butter (this is the difficult step because the butter can go from light to dark brown very quickly. You cannot substitute Margarine or light in this recipe.
