Tender, buttery, and caramelized cabbage comes together with salty bacon and other veggies to create a surprisingly decadent dish, and one that pairs perfectly with other Southern classics. We can thank Susan Olayinka for this recipe, one that she developed to be simple and straightforward. “You can easily make this dish in just a few minutes, and it’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time to cook,” she explains.
Ingredients
½ green cabbage head
½ white onion
½ green bell pepper
1 celery stick
2 garlic cloves
4 slices bacon
3 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon Creole seasoning
Directions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut out the core, then slice the cabbage thinly.
Chop the onion, bell pepper, and celery into small pieces, and mince the garlic.
Thinly slice the bacon.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and the chopped vegetables. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cabbage, salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Serve while warm. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.
