It’s that super, busy time of the year when the days are shorter and we need to get dinner on the table. Try this one pot dish for an easy, weeknight meal. Haluski is one of the easiest meals to make with only a handful of ingredients.
What is Haluski?
Haluski is a traditional Polish dish with cabbage and buttery egg noodles that is very popular in Pennsylvania. Many Eastern European and Pennsylvania Dutch variations are also available. You can find it on the menu at many family-owned diners and restaurants. When cabbage is in season, I make this at least one or two times a month. It is a great way to use up extra cabbage, feeds a lot of people, and it’s very inexpensive to make.
The cabbage and onions mellow into a delicious blend when sauteed with the butter and mixed with the egg noodles, while the kielbasa gives you a satisfying garlic flavor.
My version adds turkey kielbasa (leaner and more calorie friendly) but feel free to use traditional kielbasa or omit altogether for a hearty, meatless dish.
How to Make Kielbasa, Cabbage & Noodles (Haluski)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a large skillet, melt the 6 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cabbage. Sauté the onions and cabbage for 8-10 minutes until the onions are translucent and the cabbage begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic and turkey kielbasa to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cabbage is very tender. The cabbage and onions will turn slightly golden.
While the cabbage is cooking, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions.
Drain the noodles and add to the skillet. Toss well to mix the noodles with the cabbage mixture. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Heat through.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
