Káposztás Kockák
Cabbage Squares
Káposztás Kockák is a hearty and flavorful Hungarian pasta dish where small pasta squares are tossed with slowly caramelized cabbage. It can be prepared in a sweet or savory style, with this recipe leaning towards a savory preparation enhanced by the natural sweetness of the cooked cabbage.
🧂 Ainekset
- 300 g Egg pasta squares(or other small, flat pasta shapes)
- 1 kg Green cabbage(about 1 large head, finely shredded)
- 4 tbsp Vegetable oil or lard
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1 tsp Sugar(optional, for caramelization)
👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Cook the pasta squares according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil or lard over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage and a pinch of salt.
- 3
Cook the cabbage, stirring frequently, for about 30-40 minutes, or until it is very tender and has a deep golden-brown color. This slow caramelization is key to developing its sweetness and flavor. If using, add the sugar in the last 10 minutes of cooking to aid caramelization, being careful not to burn it.

Season the caramelized cabbage generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 5
Add the cooked pasta squares to the skillet with the cabbage. Toss well to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.
- 6
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, to allow the flavors to meld.
- 7
Serve hot.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit
- ✓The key to this dish is slow-cooking the cabbage until it's deeply caramelized. Don't rush this step.
- ✓Using lard will provide a more traditional flavor, but vegetable oil works well too.
- ✓Taste and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) at the end, as the cabbage will reduce significantly.
