• 1 small head green cabbage cut out and cut into thin slices (approximately 6-7 cups)

• 3 oz yellow onion, thinly sliced

• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted (and additional to taste)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, half at a time (to taste)

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tsp. garlic powder (2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)

• 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked, not essential)

• 1 cup of vegetable stock, or chicken stock

• 8 ounces wide egg noodles (1/2 a normal 16 oz package)

• 1 tab soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (optional, to add on the flavor)

• 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (Traditional flavor, optional)

• 2 tbs of chopped fresh parsley or chives, to garnish (all optional)

Cabbage and Noodles: Directions

1. Ready the vegetables – Core and cut cabbage into fine shreds. Thinly slice the onion. Prep can be done a day before and stored in a zip-top bag in the fridge.

2. Layers in the slow cooker – Place the sliced cabbage and onion into a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Pour melted butter and olive oil. Add salt, black pepper, garlic, paprika (if using), and caraway. Mix thoroughly to cover the cabbage.

3. Add liquid – Pour in the broth and soy or Worcestershire sauce if using. The cabbage will appear full but collapses as it simmers.

4. Slow cook the cabbage – Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours. Stir once or twice if desired.

5. Cook the noodles – About 20 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles on the stovetop according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.

6. Add cabbage and noodles – Add cooked noodles to the slow cooker with the cabbage mixture. Add remaining salt and additional butter as desired. Cook 15-20 minutes longer until noodles absorb flavor and everything is hot.

7. Serve and garnish – Stir in fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot right from the slow cooker and sprinkle with additional black pepper.
