Best Gregs Haluski Recipes

HALUSKI

Steps:

• Cut up bacon in bite size pieces and fry with chopped onion (I like my bacon crisp, but it's up to you).
• Meanwhile, put on large pot of water to boil.
• Peel potatoes, cut and grind up in a blender (If the mixture is too dry to blend, add the egg).
• In a large bowl, gradually mix flour with potato mush until loose batter is formed.
• Put a large scoop of the batter on a flat surface (I use the bottom of a springform pan).
• Holding the flat surface in one hand, use a fork with the other, pushing finger-size dumplings in the boiling water (They will rise as they cook).
• Gently stir, so they don't stick.
• After the dumplings are all cooked, drain them in a large colander and put them in a large serving bowl.
• Drain sauerkraut in colander, under cold water, squeezing out excess.
• Add sauerkraut, cooked bacon and onion to dumplings.
• Mix gently.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• (An alternate version is with the dumplings mixed with drained cottage cheese and melted butter. Very yummy too!).

HALUSKI (PAN-FRIED CABBAGE AND NOODLES)

Steps:

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

EASY AND QUICK HALUSHKI

Steps:

• Snip bacon into small pieces with a scissors and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Cook and stir onion with bacon until translucent, about 5 more minutes; set bacon and onion aside, leaving drippings in the skillet.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Transfer bacon and onion mixture with drippings into the pot used to cook the noodles and cook and stir cabbage until coated with drippings. Cover pot and cook until cabbage is tender, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gently stir in noodles and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
