Cabbage with Bacon and Onions
Description
Cabbage with Bacon and Onions starts by sauteing onion slices in butter to develop sweetness, then adding chopped bacon to brown and crisp slightly. The addition of chopped green or savoy cabbage combined with optional brown sugar creates a sweet contrast to the salty bacon. Cooking the mixture over medium heat allows the cabbage to soften and develop a slight golden edge.
Adding warm chicken broth toward the end wilts the cabbage further and integrates the flavors, while slow cooking with the lid on tenderizes the vegetables without excess moisture. Removing the cover and increasing heat finishes the dish with a slight caramelized texture. Seasoning with salt and pepper before serving balances the flavors.
This hearty vegetable side complements meats or can be served alone. Garnishing with fresh parsley brightens the dish just before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 onion sliced thinly, very large
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 12 lices Bacon chopped
- 1 green cabbage or savoy - cored and chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar optional
- 1/2 cup chicken broth warm
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Then add the bacon and cook for 5-6 minutes more until golden.
- Add the chopped cabbage and brown sugar, and cook for 10 mins so it browns. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the broth. Cook for 2 minutes or until the cabbage is slightly wilted. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Uncover and stir well, taste, and adjust for salt and pepper. Increase the heat and cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve garnished with parsley.
