Skillet Fried Country Cabbage Recipe
Use this as a side dish along with some fresh garden green beans or pan fried new potatoes. Another comfort food from my family.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage, shredded (like coleslaw)
- 3 strips of bacon, fried crisp
- 1 small diced shallot
- 4 Tbl. Splenda sweetener
- 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 cup cold water
Directions
- Split the cabbage head and remove the core and discard.
- Shred the cabbage as you would coleslaw (into long strings)
- Using a large skillet (12" or so) fry the bacon until crisp and remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
- Keeping the rendered bacon fat in the pan add the cabbage in batches until you get it all in the pan.
- Add the 1/4 cup of cold water on top of the wilting cabbage and stir.
- Cover the pan and let the cabbage simmer until it has almost completely wilted. Stirring occasionally and not using more than a medium heat.You don't want to burn it, just steam it.
- After the cabbage has wilted, stir well and add the remaining ingredients and stir to mix.
- Crumble the bacon and add to the top of the mixture. Stir the bacon into the cabbage and cook (uncovered) for about 10 mins more just to heat it up.
