Sautéed Cabbage with Bacon Recipe

Sautéed Cabbage with Bacon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for a bit of smokiness)

Instructions:

1. Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
2. Sauté the onion and garlic: Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook until the onion is translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add the cabbage: Stir in the chopped cabbage, making sure to coat it with the bacon fat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Season: Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Mix well to combine.
5. Finish and serve: Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet, mix with the cabbage, and cook together for another 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.
