Bacon And Cabbage

By srumbel

Have you ever tasted a cabbage just after you cut it from the little bush plant where it grew? It tastes very different than the ones you buy in the produce section of the grocery store and maybe even at the farmer’s market. Nana could cut a head of cabbage and pull an onion, bring them in and make the best lunch I ever tasted. I want to share the recipe with you now.

Ingredients

• a head of a medium sized cabbage, sliced thinly like this:
• 7 Slices of bacon
• 1 medium onion, red is best but white or yellow will do.
• 2 cloves of garlic.
• A dash of paprika.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• A sprinkling of crushed red pepper if you like some heat.

Preparation

Step 1

Cut up the slices of bacon into little pieces. I use kitchen shears.
Put in a pan on medium heat and cook until mostly done.
Add in the onion and garlic to the bacon and sauté until the onion is soft.
Next add the cabbage, salt and pepper as well as the paprika and red pepper if you wish.

Put the lid on and allow cooking under low heat for about 10 minutes.

Serve!
