I have my doubts if anyone will actually try this recipe but I wanted to post it for documentation sake.
This recipe originated with Terry's Grandma.
He loved it . . .talked about it. . .asked her to make it for me. . .and she did. . .once.
Shortly after that ... .I made it .. . once. . .20 years ago.
I know of no one else in the extended family that makes it and even when asking my mother in law to recall all the ingredients we had a hard time remembering exactly how it was.
I decided to tackle it yesterday and really .. . it was quite a fun challenge.
After dinner. . . he walked over to our new coffee table book for our grand babies. . and pressed the little pig. . .the little pig immediately oinked. .
He loved it. . .I quite enjoyed it. . . and will likely try it again.

It starts out simply. . .making some homemade noodles.
Noodles
- 2 1/2 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 extra large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
Mix all the ingredients to make a hard dough.

It will be easier if you let it rest in between covered with plastic wrap.
I left it for 10 minutes at a time.
When the dough is smooth. . cover it up for a good half hour.

You will need some
- smoked farmer sausage. . or other Ukrainian style sausage.
- enough fresh potatoes for your family
- a large onion
- a handful of fresh parsley
Roll the dough out very thin. You should be able to barely see the counter underneath.
At this point. . you could simply make noodles by flouring the top of the dough a bit.. .
cutting 2 inch wide strips and layering them and cutting through all the layers to make 1/4 inch wide noodles. . and simply cook them.

. .. but not me. . .oh no. .
I brushed some bacon drippings over the dough and rolled it up. . jelly roll style.

I put the farmer sausage in the pot.

I then chopped up the onion and puit that on top.

. . .diced the potatoes and layered that over the onions.
and then the parsley over that. .
some salt and pepper
and then. .
I added to the pot. . enough water to come half way up the sausage.
I covered the pot and brought the sausage, potatoes and onions to a boil.
Turn down the heat and simmer with the lid on about 15 minutes.

After I rolled up the noodle dough ..
I cut it into 1 inch pieces. . .
next time I would cut it narrower .. perhaps 1/2 inch pieces.

After the potatoes had cooked for about 15 minutes.. .
I lifted the lid and put the noodles on top.
Close the lid quickly. . .you don't want to lose the steam.
Continue to have on a medium low heat for about 20 minutes or until the water has cooked out.
You should start to hear the sausage sizzle. .
it is then finished.

The noodles will be firm but well cooked.
I made a cream sauce of 1/4 cup butter and 1 cup of heavy cream. . simmered until slightly thickened.
I also sauteed some onions. . and of course steamed green beans for .. color and health.
If anyone. . attempts this . . . please leave a comment and let me know how it worked out for you ..
I have done my family duty. .
The recipe is now recorded for future generations. .
No longer will I hear. . .
"no one wrote it down?"
