TRADITIONAL HUNGARIAN NOODLES & CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan; add the sugar and heat gently until the sugar browns.
• Add the onions, garlic and leeks; cook until they start to wilt.
• Stir in the cabbage; sauté, stirring frequently, until the cabbage has softened, about 20 minutes.
• Season to taste with pepper, and transfer the cabbage mixture and pan juices to a large bowl and keep warm.
• Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain. (Alternatively, using pre-cooked vacuum-packed noodles works well, and saves time).
• Quickly toss the noodles with the cabbage mixture and the poppy seeds.
• Serve immediately.
• Notes: Traditionally, this noodle and cabbage dish is served with sour cream. It's certainly delicious with the sour cream. Opt for a lower fat dish another night!

CABBAGE AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add a film of oil along with the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Move the onions to one side of the pan, and then add the butter, cabbage and a pinch of salt. Cook until everything is caramelized and softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock. Simmer this mixture until the cabbage is cooked through and the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, drop your pasta. Cook at a gentle boil for 2 minutes less than the package directions. Then drain and add to the cabbage mixture. Gently fold in the parsley and sour cream and serve immediately, adding black pepper and a drizzle of oil.
