Hungarian Cabbage Noodles with Caramelized Cabbage and Onions – Káposztás Tészta🇭🇺..

Instructions:

  1. Caramelize the cabbage & onion
    • Heat fat in a large skillet or pot.
    • Add onions and cabbage, season with salt and a pinch of sugar.
    • Cook slowly over medium-low heat, stirring often, until cabbage is soft and golden brown (25–30 minutes).
  2. Cook the noodles
    • Meanwhile, boil noodles in salted water until tender. Drain well.
  3. Combine
    • Toss noodles with caramelized cabbage-onion mixture.
    • Adjust with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Serve
    • Hot as a main dish or side.
    • Some Hungarians add a spoon of sour cream on top, though it’s often eaten plain.

🍽 Notes:

  • In some Hungarian households, this dish is enjoyed savory, but others add a little powdered sugar on top for a sweet twist.
  • It’s traditionally meatless, often eaten during Lent or as a simple weekday meal.

Would you like me to also share the sweetened version (cukros káposztás tészta) that Hungarian kids often love?
