Description

A simple and flavorful recipe for fried cabbage and bacon, combining crispy bacon with tender cabbage sautéed in a savory broth. This dish is a perfect side for any meal and is quick to prepare in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon, cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 pound green cabbage, core removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: In a deep pot over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until they are crispy and browned, releasing flavorful fat.
  2. Add cabbage and broth: Add the chopped cabbage to the pot along with the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Sauté the cabbage: Stir well to combine all ingredients. Continue cooking over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes or until the cabbage softens to your preferred texture, absorbing the flavors.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey bacon for a leaner option.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if using salted broth.
  • For extra flavor, add minced garlic or onion when cooking the bacon.
  • This dish pairs well as a side with pork chops or grilled chicken.
