Main Ingredients
  • 1 head cabbage
  • 4 slices bacon

  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Dice the bacon and onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and drain most of the grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
  3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked bacon bits just before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end. You can also customize by adding other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers.
