Description
Satisfy your cravings with this Crispy Pan-Fried Cabbage with Bacon & Onions. Its simple preparation and delightful flavor make it a fantastic dish for a quick dinner or a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces (preferably thick cut)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 large green cabbage, chopped into square pieces (about 8 cups)
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, fry the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Drain about half of the bacon drippings, keeping some for cooking.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onions. Cook until soft and translucent, about five minutes. Then, add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Introduce the chopped cabbage into the skillet along with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything well. Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is softened, remove the lid and mix in the crispy bacon. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve hot.
Notes
Thick cut bacon adds a richer flavor; feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Stirring occasionally helps the cabbage cook evenly and prevents it from sticking to the pan.
