Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 6 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
Preparation
Step 1
Remove the cabbage core and discard. Slice the cabbage into 1 to 2-inch pieces; you should have approximately 12 cups. Place in a large pot along with the bacon and water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-low heat and then reduce the heat to a medium-low. Add the pepper and salt to the pot, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Before serving, stir in the butter.
I’m a bit new to this, but where’s the “fried” part? After reading all the comments here, I would add in a med onion chopped with the boil, then after 30 mins, strain all — reserve any juice to drink when cool – - put all into a frying pan, if nec, add a bit of oil – - something plain, like peanut oil, and fry just a bit to caramelize a little, then add the butter (for me dairy free margarine) and serve.
I have added shredded carrots sometimes, brocolli slaw, and LOTS of onions.
