Bacon Fried Cabbage

If you want to venture into the world of cabbage that goes beyond corned beef or coleslaw, try this fried cabbage on for size. Hearty and flavorful, it only requires 5 ingredients (if you don't count the salt and pepper). This simple recipe might just convert even the most ardent of cabbage haters.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small head green cabbage, cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tsp. light brown sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • Freshly chopped parsley leaves, for serving

Directions

  1. Step 1In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, cook bacon until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel–lined plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  2. Step 2Add onion to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add cabbage and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is just tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3Return bacon to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook 1 minute to heat through. Top with parsley and serve hot.
