Fried Cabbage
Fried cabbage is full of deliciously seasoned cabbage, onions and crispy bacon. It's low carb and keto friendly, and perfect as a side dish or main course.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon cut into ½-inch pieces (I use low-sodium)
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 1 small head of green cabbage shredded or roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large, heavy bottomed (like cast iron) skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crisp; 8-10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Do not discard the bacon grease!
- To the bacon grease, add the chopped onion and cook until softened; 5-6 minutes.
- Add chopped cabbage, brown sugar and red pepper flakes to the pan, and cook until cabbage is softened. Stir in the bacon and cook until heated through.
- Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
1 head of cabbage will yield about 8 cups; a serving for a meal is about 2 cups, and as a side, 1 cup. Nutritional information is approximate and based on a 1 cup side dish serving.
Feel free to swap out the bacon for turkey bacon or even vegan bacon. Keep in mind these don't have the same fat content so it will be necessary to add butter or oil.
Swap out the bacon for ground pork sausage or diced kielbasa sausage.
