One thing you will learn about me is that I think bacon can go in anything. It just takes things to the next level, especially vegetables. This is my favorite way to make cabbage. It is super easy and full of flavor. If you do not eat pork, please omit the bacon and add two additional tablespoons of butter or ghee; it will still be delicious! Hope you enjoy!
My Favorite Sautéed Cabbage
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of bacon (make sure compliant if doing Whole30)
- 1 small head of green or white cabbage
- 2 tablespoons of butter (or ghee for Whole30)
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Cut cabbage in half. Place cabbage cut side down and slice thinly around the core. Discard core.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add bacon once pan is hot. Cook bacon until crispy. Once crispy, transfer bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside. Be sure to leave the bacon grease in the pan.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter (or ghee) to the bacon grease and melt. Once butter is melted, add cabbage. Mix cabbage in with the grease and butter. Cover the cabbage and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring the cabbage about every 3 minutes. Covering the cabbage will help it get super tender.
- Once cabbage is soft, season with salt and pepper to taste, crumble crispy bacon over the top and serve.
