Fried Cabbage

I must share this as oddly enough I have been craving it a lot lately.

So easy, cheap and yum!

Fried Cabbage- a few different ways!

prep- 5 minutes
cook-20 minutes
serves - 3 adults +

1/2 Head of Cabbage, rinse it and chop it up into bite size pieces

It should look something like this:


3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, you can use all OO if you would like
Salt and pepper

optional ingredients:
1 heaping teaspoon sugar, Optional
5 pieces of bacon, real bacon not turkey anything! Optional - if you use bacon you can skip the butter and olive oil

If using the bacon- get big skillet out and fry up your bacon. Get it nice and crispy.
Take bacon out, chop it up and save for later.
Keeping your bacon grease hot, go ahead and throw in your cabbage and start frying.
If not using bacon, just heat up your OO and butter in pan until hot and then throw in cabbage and start frying.

If using the sugar go ahead and add it now.
Salt and Pepper it REALLY good. I use a lot of salt, probably close to 2 teaspoons.
Fry it really good until the cabbage looks brighter in color and is limp. I also like some of it to get a little crispy around the edges. This takes about 15 minutes.

Once cabbage is done add your bacon back in (if using!) and toss it together. Feel free to set your skillet right on the table and let people just start eating. So good!

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the cooked cabbage, but will snap one next time I make it! We also had vegetable soup last night, recipe is coming! Which had the other half of cabbage in it and after we all ate our fill of fried cabbage I just threw the little bit of leftovers in the vegetable soup!
