Noodles and sauerkraut, or kluski z kwaśna kapusta (KLOOSS-kee zih KVAHSH-nah kah-POOSS-tah) in Polish, is a favorite side dish in many Polish families.

It's a popular and portable dish to take to family parties, celebrations, potlucks, and tailgates.

Sautéed onions, sauerkraut, and mushrooms (either imported Polish mushrooms or canned mushrooms) mingle with buttered kluski noodles for an unassuming yet delicious side dish.

Kluski z kwaśna kapusta reheats well and actually tastes better after flavoring overnight. It's also a good candidate for the freezer as it thaws well.

Cabbage or sauerkraut with noodles is a popular and easy dish common throughout Eastern Europe. In Poland, it's called kapusta z kluski or hałuski, in the Czech Republic, it's known as nudle s zelí, and Slovaks call it haluski.
