Description
This Crispy Pan-Fried Cabbage with Bacon & Onions is a flavor-packed dish that combines the crunch of cabbage with crispy bacon and savory onions. A simple yet satisfying option for a quick dinner or a healthy meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 large green cabbage, chopped into square pieces
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, fry the chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-8 minutes over medium-high heat. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it in a bowl for later use. Drain about half of the drippings, leaving some in the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent, which should take about five minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, along with the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is tender, remove the lid and stir in the bacon. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving. Serve immediately.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using thick-cut bacon for a richer taste.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your heat preference.
This dish pairs well with grilled meats and can be served as a side or main dish.
