More Hungarian entrees!

Shredded Cabbage Soup (S'chee )

2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons bacon fat, butter or margarine
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans) condensed beef broth
2 broth cans water
1 small head green cabbage, coarsely shredded (5 cups)
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 medium potatoes, cubed
1 stalk celery, with leaves, sliced

1 teaspoon salt
Freshly-ground black pepper

Cook and stir onions in bacon fat in Dutch oven until tender. Add beef broth, water, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and celery. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

And...Hungarian potato dumplings
"Haluska"
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour I used one cup of potato flour and 1 cup of regular flour

salt and pepper
fresh dill weed
1 large potato, boiled,peeled,and grated (I used three, actually)
1 (1 lb) container low-fat cottage cheese or 1 lb of diced and boiled cabbage

Directions
1 boil, peel, and grate a large starchy potatoe.
2 Combine with flour, egg, and salt and pepper to taste.
3 Drop by 1/2 teaspoon into a large pot of boiling water.
4 Dumplings are done when they float.
5 Remove from pot and drain well.
6 Empty water from pot and return dumplings to it.
7 Sprinkle dumplings with dill weed then combine with cottage cheese (I prefer small curd but either works).
8 Re-warm dish to eating temperature (cottage cheese will reduce temperature) and serve.
9 Alternatively combine with boiled cabbage instead of cottage cheese (also very tasty).
