Halushki Recipe

halushki with bacon

Halushki is a simple Polish recipe that is easy and inexpensive to make. There are basically three separate components that are combined during the final assembly of the dish: a spicy onion and garlic sauce, egg noodles, and cabbage.

  1. That's awesome - and totally different from my Baba's helushki, which is basically dumplings plus potatoes and sausage. Interesting that the polish and russian versions are named so close but made so differently.
