Preparation

Step 1

Toss the cabbages together in a large bowl; set aside.

Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; set aside. Pour off all but about 1 Tbsp. fat from skillet.

Add caraway seeds to skillet, if desired; cook over medium heat, shaking skillet often, until seeds begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add oil and garlic; cook, stirring, 10 seconds (do not let garlic brown). Remove from heat; pour in vinegar. Add sugar and salt; stir until disolved. Pour dressing over cabbage. Season with pepper. Toss thoroughly. Let stand at least 1 hour, or refrigerate, covered, overnight. Just before serving, add dressed cabbage with bacon and toss.
