Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 onion chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon lawry's seasoning salt
3 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 large head of cabbage, knife cut shredded and cored
1 pound smoked beef or turkey sausage, cut on diagonal

Steps:

1. ABOUT CABBAGE Pick a nice firm head of cabbage.
2. FRY BACON Fry Bacon Crisp, let cool, then crumble and set aside. Remove bacon grease except for one tablespoon.
3. FRY SAUSAGES Fry the sausages in the bacon grease until nice and brown. Remove, drain on paper towels, set aside.
4. Knife-cut the cabbage; Add to the bacon grease in the pan. Add chopped onion and garlic to the grease in the pan. Add sugar, pepper flakes, seasoning salt, caraway seeds and the water. Stir to mix, then add the knife-cut cabbage and mix again. Saute with lid on. I prefer my cabbage cooked al dente, about 20 minutes. Bill likes his well done. So I remove mine early and continue cooking his a little longer.
5. The last 15 minutes of cooking time, add the browned sausages and mix with the cabbage. Cook over very low heat and let flavors blend, but don't overcook it. Add crumbled bacon to the dish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FRIED CABBAGE

When I was young, my family grew our own cabbages. It was fun to put them to use in the kitchen, just as I did with this comforting side. With potatoes, deviled eggs and cornbread, fried cabbage tastes like home. -Bernice Morris, Marshfield, Missouri

Tips:

Choose a firm head of cabbage for frying. A loose or wilted head of cabbage will not hold its shape as well during the frying process.
Slice the cabbage thinly and evenly. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Use a large skillet or wok to fry the cabbage. This will give the cabbage plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the cabbage. This will help the cabbage brown and crisp up.
Stir the cabbage frequently while it is frying. This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. This will help enhance the flavor of the cabbage.
Serve the cabbage hot as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Fried cabbage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With a few simple tips, you can make fried cabbage that is crispy, flavorful, and healthy.
