POLISH NOODLES AND SAUERKRAUT RECIPE - KLUSKI Z KWASNA KAPUSTA



Polish Noodles and Sauerkraut Recipe - Kluski z Kwasna Kapusta image

Noodles and sauerkraut, or kluski z kwasna kapusta (KLOOSS-kee z KVAHSS-nah kah-POOSS-tah) in Polish, is a favorite side dish in my Polish family. We take turns bringing it to parties and celebrations. Sautéed onions, sauerkraut and mushrooms (either imported Polish mushrooms or canned mushrooms) mingle with buttered kluski noodles for an unassuming yet delicious side dish. Kluski z Kwasna Kapusta reheats well and actually flavors overnight. It's also a good candidate for the freezer. View this larger photo of Polish Noodles and Sauerkraut.
