Ingredients
1 large head of green cabbage, chopped about 6 cups
6 slices of bacon, diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter optional, for extra richness
1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a bit of heat
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic
Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Cabbage
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the bacon grease and combine with the onion and garlic.
Cook the cabbage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it softens and starts to brown slightly, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 4: Season and Combine
Stir in the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet and toss to combine.
If desired, add butter for extra richness, stirring until melted.
Step 5: Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the fried cabbage to a serving dish. Enjoy it as a side dish or even as a main course with some crusty bread or over rice.
Tips
For a low-carb/keto meal, enjoy this dish as-is or add sausage for extra protein.
