Krautfleckerl with Bacon
The perfect krautfleckerl with bacon recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 350 g Fleckerl – noodles
- 1 piece Onion
- 6 tbsp Clarified butter
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 600 g White cabbage
- 120 g Bacon with a strong taste
- Salt pepper
- 1 tsp Caraway seeds
- 50 ml Vegetable broth
- Bring enough salted water to the boil in a saucepan and cook the stains in it until al dente. Strain, rinse briefly in cold water and drain well.
- Meanwhile, peel the onion and finely dice it. Remove the outer leaves and the stalk from the cabbage head, cut it into small pieces and press together. Cut away the rind from a strong bacon (if available) and cut into cubes.
- Heat clarified butter or lard in a large pan and fry the bacon in it. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Scatter the sugar on top and let everything caramelize briefly. Mix the well-squeezed white cabbage into the onion and bacon mixture and season with salt, pepper and caraway seeds.
- Roast the white cabbage for about 30 – 40 minutes, stirring repeatedly, or braise until soft, if necessary add some (50 ml) broth, but do not let it become too runny, rather keep it a little dry. Slow steaming is the art of the cabbage sticks. You have to take your time, always stir well, not let it burn.
- Mix in the cooked pastries, heat up briefly and season to taste.
Serving
- Distribute in preheated plates and garnish with finely chopped parsley or chives. It is highly recommended if they are served with a swab of sour cream. I serve with a green or cucumber salad.
info
- This hearty dish becomes vegetarian if the bacon is omitted, which is possible without any problems.
- Fleckerln are noodles from Austria. With white cabbage, it used to be called a poor man’s dish. For me and many others today it is a delicacy.
- Enjoy the preparation and bon appetite!
