KRAUTFLECKERL- HUNGARIAN CABBAGE AND NOODLES
This dish has its roots in Hungary but is also popular in Austria and Germany. My German grandmother made this using square pieces of pasta but I will post the recipe as I found it on the internet. I like to fry some chopped bacon and garlic together with the onions and cabbage. This a cheap but very good meal. Edit to say, and hope this helps for others who will try this recipe, the step of letting the cabbage sit in the salt is important, it does add a better flavor to the recipe and the texture.

KRAUTFLECKERL - CABBAGE PASTA BAKE
Vienna is one of my favorite cities in the world. I also love Austrian cooking like this one with a glass of chilled gruner veltliner. Using cabbage in dishes always make me happy because it's so nutritious and tasty. I am also posting a homemade fleckerl (egg noodle recipe) if you want to try making your own. Othwerwise, small square noodles or egg noodle work fine here.

Steps:
- Wash the cabbage and remove the stalk. Cut into quarters, then cut the quarters into smaller pieces. Add salt to taste.
- Cut the cabbage pieces roughly into squares, bruise by hand and let stand for about 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and caramelize the sugar a bit (this takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat). Sugar will melt and turn brownish color. Do not burn.
- Add the cabbage, onions and the caraway seeds. Cover, and cook for about 30 minutes on low, stirring regularly, until light brown in color. Season with pepper.
- Brown the sausage slices for several minutes to brown lightly and remove.
- Boil some water and cook the noodles until soft, drain and combine with the cabbage. Let stand for a few minutes. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Top with browned sausage slices.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cabbage for a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of green and red cabbage, or add some Savoy cabbage for a slightly bitter note.
- If you don't have any caraway seeds, you can substitute with cumin seeds or fennel seeds.
- For a vegetarian version of the dish, omit the bacon or pancetta and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Serve Krautfleckerl with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy and tangy flavor.
- Leftover Krautfleckerl can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Conclusion:
Krautfleckerl is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
