Haluski (Pan-Fried Cabbage and Noodles)

Description: Haluski is a pan fried dish that both of my grandmothers used to make of butter, onion, cabbage and noodles. It makes a delicious main or side dish, whatever you're in the mood for. I personally like to let my cabbage get a little brown, but adjust your cooktime as necessary to your preference. The serving sizes will depend on how you are serving it.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups wide egg noodles
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups sliced sweet onions, about 1/8 inch thick
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 6 cups cabbage, sliced thin
• 1 teaspoon caraway seed (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pepper

Steps:

1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions, then drizzle with a bit of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together and set aside.
2. While noodles are cooking, melt butter in large deep skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Add onion, sprinkle with brown sugar and saute, stirring occasionally for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until softened and just beginning to turn golden.
4. Add cabbage to skillet, stirring well to incorporate with onion, and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in caraway seeds if using, then cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Turn heat back to medium, add cooked noodles, salt and pepper, and stir well until noodles are heated though.
7. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot.
