Anleitungen
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside.
- Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet with the bacon grease, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, stirring to coat it with the bacon grease and sautéed onions. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender but still has some crunch.
- Season and Add Broth: Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (optional). Pour in the chicken broth, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in the crumbled bacon. Toss everything together, then serve immediately.
Notizen
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to taste.
You can swap the cabbage for other varieties like napa or Savoy cabbage for a different texture.
Use thick-cut bacon for extra flavor and crunch.
If you want to make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the bacon and use olive oil or butter for sautéing.
