Sautéed Cabbage with Bacon

 









Sautéed Cabbage with Bacon,


Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (about 6-8 cups)
  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for added depth)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional, for a tangy kick)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

1. Cook the bacon:

  1. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.

2. Sauté the onion and garlic:

  1. In the same pan with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion.
  2. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Cook the cabbage:

  1. Add the sliced cabbage to the pan, stirring to coat it with the bacon grease and onions.
  2. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
  3. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender and lightly browned.
  4. If desired, stir in the apple cider vinegar and red pepper flakes for added flavor.
  5. Add the butter at the end for extra richness (optional).

4. Finish and serve:

  1. Stir the crispy bacon back into the cabbage.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Serve hot as a side dish for roasted meats, grilled chicken, or even as a standalone dish.

Tips:

  • Use a mix of green and purple cabbage for extra color.
  • For a heartier meal, add cooked sausage or shredded chicken.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.

Enjoy your sautéed cabbage with crispy bacon—simple, savory, and packed with flavor!
