HALUSHKI WITH PAP'S DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, eggs, milk and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix by hand until incorporated, making sure not to overmix. Place in the refrigerator, covered, and let rest for 1 hour.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut penny-size dumplings into the water by hand and let boil for 5 minutes. Drain the dumplings and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the cabbage and paprika and cook until tender. Toss with the dumplings and smoked ham and serve.

HOLY HALUSKI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.
• In a large Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook, stirring, until crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve.
• Strain the fat from the pancetta into a bowl and wipe the pot clean. Add back in 2 tablespoons of the pancetta fat and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the pot. Reserve the remaining pancetta fat for another use or discard.
• Add the onions, cabbage, carrots and thyme. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and half the pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables with the butter. Cover and cook until the cabbage is wilted and almost tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the cabbage is very tender, about 10 more minutes.
• While the cabbage cooks, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions.
• Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the cabbage and onions are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add in the garlic and capers and cook for 1 minute. Add the peas, deglaze the pan with the white wine and add the lemon juice. Add in three-quarters of the pancetta, combine well and remove from heat.
• Drain the noodles and add to the pot with the cabbage. Toss well to coat the noodles with the cabbage and onion mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley, remaining pancetta and remaining pepper. Serve immediately.

GRANDMA'S POLISH "HALUSKI"

Steps:

• 1. Chop onion and cabbage coarsely. In a large skillet fry the bacon fairly crisp and discard most of the grease, add the butter and slowly make it brown. THIS is an important part. Cook the onion and cabbage over medium heat in the bacon/butter until it's soft, stirring as necessary to prevent burning. This will take quite a while and reduce by about 1/2. Cook the Kielbasa together with this.
• 2. While the above is cooking, boil the noodles to the instructions, drain well and when the cabbage mix is ready, mix it all together. You can now add the optional sour cream if you like.
• 3. I've added about a cup of well rinsed and drained Sauerkraut at times and liked that as well. Optional.

• Stir in the crumbled bacon, the noodles, the remaining garlic salt, and the pepper, and let the haluski cook for 5 more minutes or so. Plate it up and top it off with Romano cheese.
