This dish has its roots in Hungary but is also popular in Austria and Germany. My German grandmother made this using square pieces of pasta, I like to use dumpling noodles when I can find them. Sometimes I fry some chopped bacon and garlic with the onions and cabbage. This a cheap but good meal. To make this a main dish meal add Kielbasa or cubed ham to cabbage when frying. The step of letting the cabbage sit in the salt is important. It does add a better flavor to the recipe and the texture.

There are many names for this Krautfleckerl, and no matter what your name for it is, it's delicious. Cabbage and onions are cooked and mixed with noodles for a comforting meal. Onions add nice flavor and noodles make it hearty. As the cabbage and onions cook on the stove, they caramelize for a wonderful flavor. This could be a side dish or a light meal.
