Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon fat behind, and set the bacon aside.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook until they begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir to mix with the onions and garlic. Cook until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Season the cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet and stir to combine with the cabbage.
- Serve hot as a side dish.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the onion and garlic.
- Add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end of cooking for a tangy twist.
