Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1/2 medium head of cabbage shredded
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by placing the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the bacon until it's crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it drain on paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
  4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion to the bacon fat and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet with the onions.
  6. Season the cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cook the cabbage for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. While the cabbage cooks, chop the crispy bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Once the cabbage is tender, stir in the chopped bacon, mix everything together, and serve warm.

Notes

This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or grilled fish, and leftovers reheat well.
