Krautfleckerl (cabbage noodles)

Instructions

1. Finely slice the pointed cabbage after removing the core, then salt it and leave it to rest for ten minutes.
2. Cook the Fleckerl in a large pan of salted boiling water for about 8 minutes, then drain them.
3. In a large frying pan, fry the bacon in the oil until golden, then remove it, keeping the fat in the pan.
4. Add the sliced onions to the pan with the butter and let them colour gently for 8 minutes.
5. Stir in the drained cabbage, the caraway and the pepper, then cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time.
6. Pour in the stock and the vinegar, and continue cooking uncovered until the cabbage is tender and almost dry.
7. Add the pasta and the reserved bacon, mix gently and adjust the seasoning.
8. Serve piping hot, sprinkled with parsley, with a spoonful of crème fraîche if you like.
