Polish Haluski Recipe
Alexandra Shytsman/Mashed By Alexandra Shytsman AND Mashed Staff/July 29, 2022 3:52 pm EST
Haluski is a classic Polish comfort food meal that’s incredibly simple to make and consists of just four ingredients. Pronounced ha-LOOSH-key, it refers to cabbage that’s fried in a generous amount of butter then tossed with egg noodles and black pepper. All the flavor comes from patiently cooking down the cabbage until it’s sweet and silky. Black pepper lends a subtle hint of warming spice.
Recipe developer Alexandra Shytsman notes that the Polish haluski is not to be confused with halušky, a traditional dish in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This other halušky refers to boiled dumplings made from a potato-cheese dough (sort of like gnocchi). Polish haluski is a great recipe to have in your backpocket for quick weeknight meals. It’s simple and savory, and the cabbage provides freshness to the whole dish. You could enjoy haluski all on its own or pair it with a protein like chicken or steak, as well as any number of side dishes. Read on for all of our haluski tips!
Gather the ingredients for Polish haluski
Alexandra Shytsman/Mashed
To make this recipe, all you’ll need is some green cabbage, an onion, egg noodles, butter, salt, and pepper.
Prep the vegetables
Alexandra Shytsman/Mashed
Chop the cabbage into thick slices and the onion into ½-inch dice. A good rule of thumb is to cut your cabbage into the same width as your noodles.
Cook the vegetables
Alexandra Shytsman/Mashed
Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. (Be sure to choose a pan that’s large enough to accommodate all the vegetables as well as the cooked noodles, like a Dutch oven.) Add the cabbage and onions, and cook covered for a few minutes until the vegetables soften a bit. Then remove the lid and continue cooking until the vegetables are really soft and start to caramelize. Be sure to stir every now and then to prevent the cabbage from burning.
Boil the noodles
Alexandra Shytsman/Mashed
Meanwhile, cook the noodles in salted water according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
Mix it all together
Alexandra Shytsman/Mashed
When the cabbage is ready, stir in the noodles and cook to warm them through. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving. We recommend being pretty generous with the black pepper, since it adds a nice contrast to the dish.
You could enjoy this haluski on its own, or you could pair it with steak, salmon, tofu, chicken — really anything complements the rich flavors!
