• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the cabbage by removing any tough outer leaves. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and finely shred the leaves into thin strips.

Step 3

Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the onions to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes or until they are soft and translucent.

Step 6

Add the garlic and shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir to combine, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Cook the cabbage mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 15–20 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 8

Stir in the cooked noodles, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the poppy seeds. Toss everything together until evenly combined and heated through.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh dill before serving, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
