HALUSHKI RECIPE (TRADITIONAL UKRAINIAN DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Prepare ingredients for the recipe.
• Place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a little well in the middle. Place whisked eggs, water, and melted butter into it. Using a fork, work the ingredients together to form the dough. Finish up combining the ingredients by hand until you get a smooth, even texture.
• Divide the dough into eight even pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a long string. Dice each string into small pieces.
• At this point, you can either freeze the raw dough for later use or move onto the next step to cook them.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the raw dumplings and boil them until they float to the top.
• Gather the topping ingredients.
• Dice mushrooms and sauté them in a buttered skillet for about 5 minutes. Dice the onions and add them to the skillet, cooking them until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in bacon pieces, sauté for 5 minutes.
• Place dumplings into a nonstick skillet and add in sautéed mixture and butter. Cook until they turn golden brown.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

HALUSHKI

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Turn the dough out unto a floured surface. Roll the dough out to about 14-inch rectangle and 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch squares. Add the dough to the boiling water and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the dough floats for 1 minute in the water and is fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, toss the dumplings with the onions and cheese. Toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into a serving bowl and garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the water, oil and egg. Mix well. Add the salt and 3 cups of the flour. Mix until the dough comes together and form a smooth ball. **If the dough is too sticky-add a little more flour, about 1/4 cup at a time. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

HALUSHKI

Steps:

• Sprinkle pork chops with garlic powder, salt and pepper and place in a large greased sauce pan or deep skillet with chopped onion and fry until very brown and well cooked. It is ok if they stick a little, as the drippings are essential in this dish. When done, remove chops and set aside.
• Add a little water to the saucepan or skillet and mix up the drippings a bit. Place cabbage into the pot, and allow to cook down completely.
• In a separate large saucepan, boil the egg noodles in water until cooked. Drain noodles and mix in butter.
• Cut up the pork chops to bite size pieces and set aside. When the cabbage has cooked down, add pork and cooked noodles and mix completely.
