Haluski

This is a popular Slovakian and Polish dish. You can find it at pretty much any block party or church picnic during the summer in my area. People use all different kinds of noodles, or slice (instead of dice) their onions, but this is the way I prefer it. It can be served as a side dish or the main meal. 

Ingredients:
1 decent size head of cabbage
16 oz. bag of egg noodles
1 large onion
1 and 1/2 sticks of butter (yes, a lot of butter!)

First, peel and chop up your onion. Like I said, some people just use slices of onion but I like everything teeny tiny when I'm adding it to something like this, so I just diced mine.

After you've cut up the entire onion, put it in a large pot. Add 1/2 a stick of butter, and saute them until they're soft. I kept mine on medium heat just because there are other things that you need to chop up and cook that will be added to this pot. You don't want the onions to get completely done way before everything else!

Next you want to cut up your cabbage. You can do this by hand, but I wanted small pieces so I used the food processor. I chopped up the cabbage into chunks first, which then fell apart and turned into what you see above.

If you use a food processor like I did, you're obviously going to have to use it more than once to grind up all the cabbage. I just dumped the shredded cabbage into a bowl until I was finished with the whole head of cabbage. Once you're done, add the cabbage in with your onions. Add another 1/2 of stick of butter. Give it all a stir and let everything cook together.

While that cooks, get another pot and start boiling the water you'll need to cook your noodles.

Once it comes to a boil, add in the noodles!

Drain!

Now add your noodles in with the onions and cabbage. Add one last 1/2 stick of butter and stir everything together well. By now your onions and cabbage should be soft. If it's not soft enough, just give everything some more time to cook.

Enjoy!
