this recipe is one we found on the internet at this outstanding site:

 
it is another way to make halusky and is different from the one used by my wife's grandmother, mary macejko milot, from zakarovce, slovakia. i am sure it is just as "authentic" as mary's because, as we all know, in peasant cooking, the "right" way only goes as far as the cottage door, and a different region, town or even home in the same village will have another "right" way to do it....
 
Halsuki

ingredients:

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (makes the fluffy)
  • enough water to moisten

mix all together in a bowl with handle to form a thick paste

boil pot of water

drop 1/2 tsp of dough into boiling water; if it stays together, puffs and comes to the top, the dough is fine. if it falls apart, add a little more flour to the dough and test again.

drop by tiny spoons full into water; dip spoon into water to help the dough slide off easier.

cook until all come to the top and are tender, then drain and serve.

 

Haluski Kapusta - Noodles and Cabbage

melt 1/2 lb butter in a pot

saute two chopped onions

Add one small head of cabbage, chopped, and chopped garlic to taste.

fry until browned; add salt and pepper to taste

make a double batch of noodles, mix into fried cabbage and cook on low until heated through.

 

Pot Cheese and Noodles

Make a double batch of noodles; Fry them in a pot with a stick of margarine or butter.

Add 2 lbs pot cheese, farmers cheese, cottage cheese or feta cheese.

Mix, heat, salt and pepper to taste.

If anyone tries this, you are gonna like it. I grew up with a cottage cheese and cabbage and noodle version. Let's just say the army could march a looong way on this stuff!

as you can see above, the base recipe for the halusky is followed by two variations, one with cabbage and one with pot cheese. this is important in that my wife says that in her memory, her grandmother would make her own recipe of halusky (see the link in the opening post) and then often have the halusky EITHER with cabbage OR cheese (in america they used cottage cheese as a substitute for pot cheese or a slovak cheese, called bryndza, which is similar to feta or queso fresco.

I just got some of this (with cabbage) from a local Polish Food Sale. I'm looking forward to trying it for dinner.

How was it, Melissa? My guess is that you loved it! 

I was wondering what to fix for supper tomorrow night - the Beautiful Mrs. Tas has been quite ill the last couple of days, but I expect that she will be well enough tomorrow to eat. When I went to the store, it occurred to me that some good, rib-stickin' Central-European comfort food might be just the ticket, so I got the fixin's for Halusky. Then I came home and saw your post!

I hope Mrs. Tas is feeling better!

It was pretty good. Once my dad finishes making my kitchen accessible, so I'll actually be able to boil water and cook noodles, I might try making it.

When the time comes, I recommend this method here:

You will want to reduce the recipe by half, since that one makes a lot, but it never fails!
