Ingredients:
- 1 to 1 1/2 heads of cabbage
- 16 ounces of noodles
- 2 onions
- 1/4 cup of salted butter
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of frozen green peas
- Cracked black pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Slice the cabbage, chop the onions, and set aside.
-
Melt Butter and Olive Oil: In a large pan, melt the salted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to heat until it starts to sizzle slightly.
-
Saute Onions: Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté them until they turn golden brown, which should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
-
Cook Cabbage: Once the onions are golden brown and fragrant, add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Cook the cabbage until it becomes soft and slightly caramelized, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Boil Noodles: While the cabbage is cooking, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions in a separate pot. Cook them until they are al dente, then drain and set aside.
-
Add Peas and Seasoning: Once the cabbage is soft, mix in the cooked noodles and frozen peas. Season the mixture generously with cracked black pepper and salt to taste. Be sure to add plenty of pepper for that signature flavor. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Final Cooking: Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring that all the flavors meld together beautifully. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve: Once everything is heated through and well combined, transfer the Cabbage and Noodles to a serving dish. Garnish with additional cracked black pepper if desired, and serve hot.
