Krautfleckerl with onions

Recipe
Austrian cuisine

A traditional Viennese comfort food classic.

Andreas Wojta

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 head of white cabbage
2 piece(s) onions
17,5 oz Fleckerl (Austrian pasta)
1 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 splash(es) vinegar
Lard or oil
Salt
Pepper
Caraway seeds
Sour cream as a garnish (optional)
  • Halve the head of white cabbage, remove the thick stalk and cut into 0,8 inch (2-centimeter) squares.
  • Peel and finely chop the onions. Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Heat the lard or oil and fry the onions in it until light brown, add the sugar and toss briefly. Now add the chopped cabbage and stir constantly until it has a nice brown color. Season to taste with salt, pepper, vinegar and caraway seeds.
  • Stir in the cooked pasta, leave to infuse again briefly and serve (garnished with a little sour cream if desired).

Tip:

Krautfleckerl are great as a main course, and are also popular as a side dish with stews.
