Score! My husband is a technician at a heavy truck garage and sometimes
grateful customers bestow gifts upon him. Last night he came home with a
huge head of cabbage, a giant tender eggplant, and half a dozen red and
yellow bell peppers.
I am off work today so I will be making halupki (cabbage rolls),
halushki (sauteed cabbage and noodles), and eggplant parm, which I will
then portion out and distribute to my parents, brothers, and in-laws. My
kids don't like Slovak food :-( and since my grandmom died, no one
really goes to the effort of making these dishes, but they sure love to
eat them!

recipes please, Lee

I don't measure anything when I make these dishes so I had to look them
up!

Halushki is super easy:

1 head cabbage, chopped
1 lg. onion, chopped
1/4 lb. butter
1 lb. cooked wide noodles
Salt & pepper

> Brown chopped onion in butter until lightly golden. Add chopped cabbage, salt and pepper to taste . Addhot drained noodles and cook through.
This recipe makes a lot, you may want to halve it.
I like the cabbage a little crisp, not too mushy. This dish has many
variations. Some people use bacon fat instead of butter.

Halupki are cabbage rolls filled with a ground beef and rice mixture
(about half meat and half rice), and again, I use only salt and pepper
as seasonings.


> 1 head cabbage
> 2 lbs. ground beef

Brown beef and onions in frying pan. Stir in rice. Salt and pepper to
taste. Boil cabbage until soft, drain and let cool a bit.
Remove one leaf of cabbage at a time, to make the cabbage rolls.. Slice
off the outer ribs of if the cabbage is tough and hard to roll.

Place a small handful of meat mixture at one edge of leaf. Fold leaf on
each side of meat mixture over meat. Roll up. Place cabbage and meat
roll, edge down,
in bottom of large casserole.
Continue until all cabbage or meat is used up, stacking rolls on top
of one another. Mix with tomato soup and water, pour over rolls. Bake at
350 degrees
for 1 hour or until rice is done. Cabbage rolls are also great done in a
slow cooker. Some use tomato sauce, but tomato soup is the flavor I'm
used to.
You may also adjust this recipe for the size of your family or cabbage!
Halupki freeze well.

Thanks for that recipe! I was in Budapest last Spring and had their
version of it, whatever they call it, and loved it. I even bought a
package of the square noodles they use, but I haven't tried making it
yet. I need to get a move on now that Fall is here. Do you serve it
with pork or duck (or something else)?

Sometimes with pork chops or sausage, but usually on it's own when I
want a meatless meal that's filling. It's popular during Lent,and even
more delicious with homemade egg noodles.

thank you these weere new names to me, Lee

If you get a chance sometime try making it with kluski noodles:

I have also make it with home made noodles but that is a bit more work.
