Equipment
- Skillet
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- Wooden spoon
- French knife
Ingredients
- 4 oz Bacon cut crosswise, 1/4 inch pieces
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion thinly sliced
- 2 tsp Caraway Seeds
- Kosher Salt and Pepper
- 1.5 tsp Sweet Paprika
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
- 1 lb Savoy or Green Cabbage cored, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 6 oz Wide Egg Noodles
- 1/4 cup Chives finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream divided
Instructions
- In a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat, cook the bacon, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is crisped and browned on both sides, 5-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel. Pour off and discard all but about 2 tbsp of the fat from the pan.
- Return the skillet to medium and add the onion, caraway, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook stirring occasionally, until the onion is browned, about 6 minutes. Add the paprika, followed by the wine, cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has reduced by half, around 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cabbage, Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup water and 1/4 tsp tsp each salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring until the cabbage is just tender but not completely soft, 18-20 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the noodles, then cover, reduce to medium and cook, stirring once or twice and adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a steady simmer, until the noodles are al dente, about 10 minutes. Uncover, increase to medium-high and stir in 1/4 cup sour cream. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is creamy and the noodles are tender, 2-4 minutes.
- Off heat, taste to season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with the bacon, chives and dollop of sour cream.
