A "Cheap" Recipe
We've been a little busy lately with a birthday, friends visiting and just, you know, life. I finally decided it was time to do a new post. I found some inspiration on Reddit of all places. I'll admit it was my first time ever exploring that site and got a little lost down the rabbit hole. Somehow I ended up clicking on a thread for "cheap recipe ideas" and came to a recipe for Haluski.
Made with just flour, butter, eggs, and cabbage, this dish is — in fact — pretty cost effect to make a big batch. Even with the cost of eggs being high.
Pairs well with Keilbasa
Haluski is a hearty little side dish that goes great with any kind of pork sausage or kielbasa. So this is an easy meal that's something totally outside the norm. I like to throw some keilbasa in a pan with a little water and hubby like to add a splash of ale, cook that up, slice it, and pair it with haluski for a complete meal.
Homemade Noodles
You can make this dish with egg noodles or homemade noodles.
I ended up making my own noodles only because I thought I had purchased egg noodles... only to find out I didn't. I think it was a happy accident though because the homemade spaetzle made this dish taste extra yummy and it really only took an extra few minutes.
My kids love making the noodles. We use a potato ricer to press the batter into the water to make the noodles.
★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
Here's everything you'll need to make Haluski with homemade noodles.
- Cabbage.
- Shallot. An onion can also be used.
- Butter, salted.
- Salt.
- Pepper. White or black is fine.
- Eggs.
- Flour. All purpose flour.
★ Tips & FAQs ★
I used my dutch oven for this since the recipe I started with called for the haluski to be baked. However, I didn't find this necessary since everything was already cooked. It's up to you but the dutch oven does make it much easier to transition from the stove top right to the over if you wanted to do that. Any large pot will do though.
Want to make just a plain batch of homemade noodles? No problem. This is a great recipe for that, simply omit the cabbage and cook everything else as directed.
You can use an onion in place of the shallot.
