Haluska

Haluska is a hungarian side dish that my grandma used to make. No we are not hungarian, it's just good. The original recipe is loaded with butter. I have revamped it into a much healthier version. Also to make it more of a meal, I have added cooked smoked sausage. I know this recipe is not for everyone but it is one of my husbands favorites so I just had to share.

Serves 4

1 small head green cabbage, shredded
1 large red onion diced - yellow onion works too but do not use white
4 servings egg or kluski noodles, uncooked - Mrs. Weiss are the best
4 servings smoked or kielbasa sausage, diced - I use Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage which is lower in fat
1/4 cup light margarine
salt and pepper to taste

Fill a large pot with hot salted water and cabbage. Bring to a boil, cooking for 20 minutes. Add pasta and cook per the instructions on the package. Once pasta is al dente, drain pasta and cabbage. Place in a very large frying pan. Add remaining ingredients and cook on medium high for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. You want a light golden color throughout but do not allow to char.

This is a very low calorie meal when light margarine and reduced fat sausage is used. It yeilds heaping portions. Enjoy!!!
