Fried Cabbage & Bacon image

A nice dish to go with any meat dinner. I like to sprinkle some vinegar over it when I eat it but that's a personal preference & not part of the original recipe. Posted for ZWT Three (The Zaar format is being ornery right now. This calls for 4 oz. bacon but no matter how I phrase it, it won't accept it.)

Categories     Onions

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb shredded cabbage (any variety, the bagged cole slaw mixes work well)
1 onion, finely chopped
5 slices uncooked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the onion and bacon in the olive oil in a large pot until the onion is softened and the bacon is cooked through; add the garlic and cook for about another two minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the cabbage to the pot; it will take up a lot of room but will wilt down as it cooks.
  • Cook until the cabbage is done, stirring frequently.
  • It will take about ten to twelve minutes; if you want a softer cabbage, cover the pot and let it steam for about an extra five minutes or so.
  • If desired, a little bit of sugar and vinegar can be added near the end of cooking time.
