A delightful twist on the classic Haluski, this recipe combines tender noodles with caramelized cabbage and onions for a comforting dish.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Adding a bit of oil to the drained noodles prevents them from sticking together.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent and start to caramelize.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook until it softens and begins to caramelize.
Covering the skillet for a few minutes can help the cabbage cook faster.
Sprinkle in the caraway seeds and thyme, stirring to combine.
Toast the caraway seeds slightly in the pan for enhanced flavor.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables.
Ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the buttery mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
Taste the dish before serving to adjust the seasoning as needed.
