Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the cabbage outer leaves, rinse it under cold water and pat dry.
- Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice the remaining cabbage.
- Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the pan and cook until crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Do not discard the bacon grease in the skillet, as it will be used to cook the cabbage.
- Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet containing the bacon grease.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back into the skillet with the cabbage.
- Sprinkle a dash of black pepper over the cabbage and bacon mixture.
- Stir to combine everything evenly.
- Remove from heat and transfer the bacon-fried cabbage to a serving dish.
- Serve hot and enjoy your deliciously savory dish!
Tips:
- Choose a firm and fresh cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces to ensure it cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Don't overcook the cabbage; it should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Feel free to add onions or garlic for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste, as the bacon stays crispy when freshly cooked.
