FRIED CABBAGE (WITH BACON, ONION, AND GARLIC)

 

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
• 6 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

• Instructions:

  1. Cook the Bacon:
     • In a large skillet or pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it’s crispy.
     • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  2. Cook the Cabbage:
     • Add the chopped cabbage to the pan. If needed, you can add a bit of olive oil to help with the cooking.
     • Stir well to coat the cabbage with the bacon fat and mix it with the onions and garlic.
     • Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Combine and Serve:
     • Add the cooked bacon back into the pan and stir everything together.
     • Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the bacon through.
     • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
     • Serve hot as a side dish or main dish.
