krautfleckerl - Austrian cabbage dish

[pheasant farmer]

Does anyone have a recipe for this ? English would help, but I could possibly limp along in German.

Thanks very much - this was a favorite dish of ours at a little cafe in the Weinerwald when we lived in Vienna.

Hi Janet,
My grandmother used to make this, I never had the recipe until I found it on the internet and have been cooking it (changed it a bit)
Seeing your request I decided to post it on Zaar, its not published yet( maybe tomorrow?) but here it is! I hope this is what you are looking for!

Krautfleckerl- Hungarian Cabbage and Noodles Recipe #rz.14573
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 but I will post the recipe as I found it on the internet. I like to fry some chopped bacon and garlic together with the onions and cabbage.


1 tablespoon salt
4 cups finely shredded cabbage (or grated)
1 cup finely sliced onions
4 tablespoons butter (vegetable oil or other fat)
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups cooked broad egg noodles, drained
sour cream, to serve (optional)

6 servings Change size or US/metric
Change to: servings US Metric

1 hour 5 minutes 25 mins prep
Mix the salt and cabbage together and let stand 30 minutes.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Heat the butter in a deep skillet, add the onions, cabbage, sugar and pepper.
Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until cabbage is browned, about 25/30 minutes.
Add the noodles and toss to blend thoroughly.
Note: To reduce fat, you can use just 1 tablespoon butter and saute the cabbage for a few minutes, then finish with a little chicken stock, stirring frequently.
Question? Ask the Chef

That sounds much like the dish I remember - without the sour cream, but that sounds great too. Thanks - I am looking forward to trying this.

Nan, I hope you like it if you should make it. I do, but I like cabbage with the combo of the pasta and I like it even better with bacon and garlic added (and some sour cream!) I am curious to see or this recipe will be tried and how it will be judged by members, think its cool pheasant farmer requested it!!! (if I only could tell my grandmother!!)

[pheasant farmer]

Wow - a blast from the past. It was like we remembered (except the noodle shape - the Austrian one had a more flat noodle and mine was curly LOL) We thought this recipe was just great. The prep on the cabbage made a real difference from when I've tried making this before - it was really, really good.

I used real farm butter - didn't try the sour cream, but we will next time.

Thank you sooooo much !!
