Steps:
- Place bacon in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. If bacon is very salty, a white froth will form on surface of water. In this case, discard water and start again. Repeat process until no froth forms on surface of water; drain.
- Cover bacon with hot water. Cover pot and simmer until almost cooked through, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, slice cabbage across the grain into thin shreds; rinse with cold water if necessary. Add the cabbage to pot with bacon and continue cooking 20 minutes more.
- Remove bacon from pot; strain cabbage and transfer to a large bowl or serving platter. Add butter and season with pepper; toss to combine. Serve bacon and cabbage with parsley sauce and potatoes.
IRISH BACON AND CABBAGE WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
This recipe comes from Cooking Light magazine. Just in time for St. Patrick's Day! This dish is more authentic than the traditional corned beef and cabbage that we eat here. The Irish bacon is also leaner than American bacon Please keep the recipe authentic and do not substitute the boiling bacon for American bacon because the recipe will not turn out right.
