Categories     Side Dishes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 strips thick cut bacon, diced
3 tbsp butter
1 onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, diced
1 head cabbage, diced
2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 tsp celtic sea salt

Steps:

  • Cut bacon into thick chunks, pan fry until crunchy. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Drain off most of the bacon fat - leave a little if desired for taste, but too much will give an oily texture.
  • Heat butter in large pan on medium-high heat until melted and foamy.
  • Add diced onions to pan, cook until soft and transparent, about 4 minutes. Stir to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Add garlic and cabbage to the pan, tossing evenly to coat in butter.
  • Generously season with salt and pepper.
  • Let cabbage reduce by half, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally as it cooks down to prevent burning and allow it to cook evenly. Add bacon back to pan.
  • When cabbage has lost much of it's volume and started to turn shiny, slightly translucent, and has lovely browned bits, it is ready to serve.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, three months in the freezer.

Provided by FLUFFSTER

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs cabbage, quartered, core removed, and cut into a large 1-inch dice
1/2 lb sliced bacon
1/2 of medium onion, sliced thinly
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove any wilted or discolored outer leaves. Cut out the core from the cabbge quarters. Cut into large 1-inch dice.
  • Cook the bacon and onion in a 4-quart pan over medium heat until bacon is crisp, and the onion is wilted.
  • Remove the bacon and onion to paper towels to drain. There should be about 1/2 cup of bacon drippings in the pan.
  • Add the cabbage to these drippings and cook without stirring until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the water, sugar, salt and pepper and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Crumble the cooked bacon into the cabbage and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, compact cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the cabbage.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the cabbage, make sure to spread it out in a single layer in the pan. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Season the cabbage well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Cook the cabbage until it is tender: The cabbage should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked to your liking.
  • Serve the cabbage immediately: Fried cabbage is best served hot and fresh. You can garnish it with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.

Conclusion:

Fried Irish cabbage with bacon is a classic side dish that is easy to make and delicious. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique dish.
