Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 pound thinly sliced pancetta, diced
2 large onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 medium head green cabbage, cored and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 cup carrots, cut in 1/4-inch julienne
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces wide egg noodles
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1 cup green peas, preferably fresh, shelled, but can substitute frozen
1/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.
  • In a large Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook, stirring, until crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve.
  • Strain the fat from the pancetta into a bowl and wipe the pot clean. Add back in 2 tablespoons of the pancetta fat and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the pot. Reserve the remaining pancetta fat for another use or discard.
  • Add the onions, cabbage, carrots and thyme. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and half the pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables with the butter. Cover and cook until the cabbage is wilted and almost tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the cabbage is very tender, about 10 more minutes.
  • While the cabbage cooks, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions.
  • Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the cabbage and onions are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add in the garlic and capers and cook for 1 minute. Add the peas, deglaze the pan with the white wine and add the lemon juice. Add in three-quarters of the pancetta, combine well and remove from heat.
  • Drain the noodles and add to the pot with the cabbage. Toss well to coat the noodles with the cabbage and onion mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley, remaining pancetta and remaining pepper. Serve immediately.

TRADITIONAL SLOVAK HALUSKI



Traditional Slovak Haluski image

This has been in my family for generations coming from Czechoslovakia. Traditionally, it is mixed with goat cheese from Czechoslovakia but since it's not available here in the States, we use brick cheese or feta. We eat this as a main meal but can be served as a side. Serve as is or add kielbasa on the side or slice up kielbasa and mix it in with haluski! Serve with warm crusty bread.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound bacon
4 small potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 cups shredded Wisconsin brick cheese

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. When bacon is cool, crumble and set aside.
  • Place potatoes into a food processor and process until pureed, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt to make a sticky dough. Set dough aside.
  • Fill a large pot about half full of lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Ladle large spoonfuls of the sticky dough to a small cutting board and use a knife to chop the dough into tablespoon-size pieces; as you cut off a piece, drop it into the boiling water. Let the dumplings boil over medium heat until they float, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon to a large serving bowl.
  • Sprinkle bacon crumbles and a handful of shredded brick cheese over each batch of dumplings; continue to make, boil, and transfer dumplings to the bowl, sprinkling each batch with bacon and brick cheese. When all dumplings are made, gently stir the haluski to mix all ingredients.

SLOVAK HALUSKI



Slovak Haluski image

Often used during Lent, this meatless recipe has been passed down generation to generation in my family. This recipe makes a generous amount, which is great because Haluski tastes even better the second day. My Bubba (grandmother) made potato dumpling noodles to go with her cabbage. Also great served with any fish!
