Fried Cabbage
Fried cabbage is a delicious and easy side dish that goes well with many meals. It’s comforting and packed with flavor, thanks to the crispy bacon and sautéed vegetables. Let’s get started on making this tasty dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cabbage, shredded
- 4 slices of bacon, diced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
Directions:
- Start by cooking the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it gets nice and crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the olive oil and sauté the sliced onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Next, add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute.
- Now, stir in your shredded cabbage and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s wilted and tender.
- Finally, return the crispy bacon to the skillet. Season everything with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little spice.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips to Make Fried Cabbage:
- Make sure to shred the cabbage into thin pieces for even cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of bacon based on your preference; you can add more for a richer flavor.
- If you like it spicier, add extra red pepper flakes or even some hot sauce.
- This dish is best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for a couple of days. Just reheat gently before serving.
