By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb thick-cut smoked bacon, cut into 1" pieces
• 2 cups thinly sliced onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
• 6 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
• 6 cups thinly sliced kale
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 Tbsp butter

Preparation

Step 1

Sauté the bacon until browned and just crispy in a large stockpot. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are soft. Add the red and green cabbage, kale, stock, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir together, cover and bring to a simmer.
Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter.
