Sauteed Cabbage With Bacon
Yah know, I actually like cabbage but I don’t cook with it that often. Unlike the napa cabbage or bok choy which I always use for stir-fries. The regular cabbage?, not the much. Mostly when we’re having corned beef brisket or the once every 3(or 5) years stuffed cabbages which I learned from my dear Mother-In-Law. So I grabbed a small head the last time I went grocery shopping to use just for a very simple side dish. I only used half for this one so I’ll use the other one for maybe a stir-fry sometime.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped in quarters
1 sm onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3-5 strips of bacon, chopped
1/2 cupt of water
sprinkle of salt
generous sprinkles of black pepper
a little bit of oil (depending on the fat rendered from browning the bacon)
In a sauté pan, brown the chopped bacon. Depending on how much fat the bacon renders, add a little bit more oil if needed.
Add the onion and garlic to cook for a few minutes. Then add the quartered cabbage, salt and lots of black pepper. I love black pepper, don’t you? Of course you’re not going to dump the whole jar of black pepper. Just a little bit more that usual to give it that kick.
Anyhooo, add the water too. Stir everything then cover to cook 15 to 20 minutes in medium heat. Stir once or twice.
Don’t cook too long. You want the cabbage to be soft but you don’t want it all mushy.
Sautéed Cabbage With Bacon was a side dish to grilled curry pork chops. That recipe is coming up next…
