Do you have some kielbasa and cabbage on hand but don't want to make them with potatoes? While kielbasa and cabbage is an excellent and easy lunch or dinner, it makes me happy to find out and share that there are many ways to season this match made in heaven! Haluski is a simple and delicious dish of Hungarian, Polish, Slovakian, and Ukrainian origins that consists of pork (sausage or ground pork), cabbage, onions, egg noodles or potatoes and sometimes cheese. Since finally getting my hands on some Hungarian paprika, (which is sweeter and has a completely different flavor from plain paprika, Spanish paprika, and smoked paprika) I've been excited to make some recipes with it including Hungarian goulash soup. Even if you can't find any Hungarian paprika, this recipe is still delicious with plain paprika.
This recipe has become one of my favorite go-to quick kielbasa and cabbage recipes and I hope it becomes one of yours also!
