Meat | Food Embrace

Haluski is a Polish dish made with cabbage, onions, and noodles. Like most Polish dishes, it’s simple to make, hearty, and comforting.

I sadly did not get a chance to have my Grandmother’s version of this dish but like with everything she made, I’m sure it tasted amazing.

My first experience with this dish was several years ago, and came from a little food booth at a craft show. I was visiting my mom and we attended a craft fair over in Washington, PA. There was a Polish food booth there and you know I beelined right over as quick as my legs would take me.

Haluski was on the menu and I gobbled some up!

Basically the dish is sauteed cabbage and onions in butter and then tossed with some egg noodles. Very traditional means that the egg noodles are homemade, but now a days most people use store bought egg noodles.

I kick mine up a notch by adding in some peppers, lots of garlic, roasted potatoes, and kielbasa. I also use whole wheat egg noodles.

It’s Scott’s birthday week, so this means we get to eat some super special meals. One of the things Scott wanted for sure was some steak. We don’t eat red meat often, not because we think it’s The Devil Meat but just because we don’t eat all that much meat in general. Everything in moderation, ya know.

When my husband asks for something he gets it or at least I try my best to provide it for him. We were at the butcher and none of their steaks looked very appealing. I felt really awful having to tell Scott that none of the steak was worth purchasing. He explained that he understood as the meat didn’t look too nice and it was no big deal.

I, however, was totally bummed.

We moved on to another butcher, one who provides bison (buffalo) meats and they just happened to have some bison steaks on sale. Both of us have only ever had ground bison so steaks seemed intriguing! We bought two and brought those little babies home with us.
