Okay, I know you all like to eat! Who has tried and true recipes they haven't shared? I'm bored with my usual ones and am always on the lookout. I'll show you mine if you show me yours! Nothing too fancy please. Let's help each other with meals (main dishes and more) which we find ourselves cooking up time & time again.
Here's a one dish meal that I make a lot. It's from Matt's Slovak mom.
Halushki:
1 head cabbage
1 onion
1 box bowtie pasta
butter
salt
pepper
kielbasa (optional)
Here's how I make it:
Slice kielbasa (we use the turkey kind a lot) into small disks and place in pan on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Thinly slice onion and add to pan (you might need to add some butter or oil to sautee). Sautee over medium heat until translucent.
Cut cabbage into thin slices (basically shredded into very thin, long strands) or however you like it and add to pan. You may need to add the cabbage in batches as it wilts down. Continue stirring.
Prepare pasta according to box directions (we've been low-carbing so we just leave it out).
Once pasta is cooked and cabbage has wilted and turned golden, add pasta to cabbage mixture and add lots of pepper, butter & salt to taste.
Simple, but delicious. I cut the kielbasa up so you get meat in almost every bite and the flavor of the meat goes all through the cabbage. You can cook it whole on your grill or do whatever you prefer. You can change it up by using different meat, or no meat at all. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Cabbage turns very sweet this way and most people like it.
