Brown Cabbage with Bacon

Brown cabbage with bacon is not really a dish I've made that often. So I've gone to the archives and found my great-grandmother's recipe.

Keyword: bacon, Cabbage, Danish food, Denmark, Dinner, Grandma'S Food, White Cabbage
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. White Cabbage
  • 50 gram Sugar
  • 25 gram Butter
  • 100 gram Water
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 400 gram Bacon diced

Instructions

  • Sugar is browned to light caramel in a large pot.
  • Add the butter.
  • The sliced cabbage is browned in it.
  • When the cabbage is browned, add water, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the cabbage simmer under a lid for about 1.5 hours.
  • Fry the bacon until crispy.
  • Serve the cabbage with the crispy bacon.

Notes

There is also the option to prepare the pork directly in the cabbage:
You do this by placing the pork in the pot when the cabbage is browned, then the pork is wrapped in the cabbage, and let the pork simmer for 1.5 hours.
Afterwards, the pork can be sliced and served with the cabbage.
