Fried Cabbage with Bacon
Description
This recipe involves frying chopped bacon until browned and flavorful, then sautéing finely diced onions in the same pan until translucent. Adding one-inch pieces of cored green cabbage with sugar, salt, and pepper, the mixture cooks over medium heat, stirring occasionally to wilt the cabbage and meld flavors. Water can be added as needed to prevent drying. The finishing touch of chopped parsley adds freshness.
The dish combines smoky, salty bacon richness with the naturally sweet and slightly crunchy cabbage softened through frying. The onions bring a mild sweetness.
Fried Cabbage with Bacon is a versatile side dish that pairs well with meats or can be served as a Dutch oven style vegetable. Using fresh cabbage cut into larger pieces rather than pre-shredded ensures a preferred texture and appearance. A large skillet helps cook evenly while stirring.
Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon coarsely chopped
- 1 white onion finely diced
- 1 head green cabbage cored and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste

Instructions

Notes
