Drescription

If you’ve braised, marinated or served red cabbage raw, try it steamed, then toss with bacon and a tangy sauce. We serve it with pork or chicken. This is how to cook cabbage with bacon.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head red cabbage (about 2 pounds), shredded
  • 8 bacon strips, chopped
  • 1 small onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, place steamer basket over 1 in. of water. Place cabbage in basket. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; steam, covered, just until tender, 6-8 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan.
  3. Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 4-6 minutes. Stir in flour and brown sugar until blended. Gradually stir in water and vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in cabbage, bacon, salt and pepper.
