Austrian Krautfleckerl Recipe

This recipe for traditional Austrian Krautfleckerl ("cabbage pasta") is a perfect dish if you want to include more cabbage to your diet, and is oh so delicious with the caramelized onions and bacon.

You can freeze this dish and also prep it in advance (it is much better on the next day!).

"Fleckerl" is a typical Austrian pasta that looks like the cook failed to cut square pasta. You can replace it with any short pasta of choice, you can also use tagliatelle pasta and break it to short pieces before cooking.

Here is the video to the Austrian Krautfleckerl recipe. It's in German, but I guess the recipe is not too complicated to do anyways... Enjoy!

Zutaten

• ▢ 500 g pasta ("Fleckerl" shape or other short pasta)
• ▢ 1 kilogram white cabbage
• ▢ 1 onion
• ▢ 4 tbsp. fat e.g. rapeseed, canola oil, lard or butter
• ▢ 1 cup diced bacon
• ▢ 3 tbsp. sugar
• ▢ 4 tsp. caraway seeds
• ▢ 2 tsp. red paprika powder
• ▢ ¼ cup vinegar or white wine brigth vinegar like white wine vinegar, no dark balsamic vinegar
• ▢ ½ cup water
• ▢ salt to taste
• ▢ pepper to taste
• ▢ fresh parsley to garnish

Anleitung

• Cut the cabbage into small squares (about the same size as the pasta).

  Also cut the onion into small pieces. Cut the bacon into small cubes (approx. 0.5 cm), if bought whole.
• Sautee the onion with approx. 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the sugar and allow to caramelize slightly.
• As soon as the sugar is liquid and lightly browned, add the bacon, caraway seeds and paprika powder.
• Gradually add the cabbage to the pan and keep stirring. The cabbage will disintegrate during steaming, making it smaller.
• Add vinegar or white wine and water. Salt and pepper.
• Simmer for approx. 20 minutes until the cabbage is soft. Stir again and again.
• In the meantime, boil the pasta until al dente and strain.
• Add the pasta to the pan and stir well.

  Garnish with parsley and, if you like, season with a little more oil (approx. 2 tablespoons) if the fleckerl are too dry.
