Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ head green cabbage core removed and cut into chunks
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon honey warmed
- ⅓ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Crisp the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the onion and sauté it in the bacon fat until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage to the skillet with the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and develops light caramelization, about 7-10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and toss well to coat evenly. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Use red, green or napa cabbage.
🌡️Storing Leftovers
Store leftover cabbage in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. You can reheat it in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave. I don't recommend freezing this dish, as the cabbage becomes mushy when thawed.Leave a review or get more information on the recipe!
