Cabbage fried with bacon, onions, garlic and spices [View all]

One of my favorite low-carb meals. I went a little crazy on the bacon today, to finish the package.

Today, it was 4 strips of bacon to half a head of cabbage, 1/2 onion, garlic to taste. Also added salt, black pepper, turmeric, and some red pepper flakes for color. It makes about 4 servings. Comfort food for a rainy day

That sounds good. I've been trying to think of a different side dish for broiled pork chops. Vinca Feb 2021 #4

You could skip the bacon Marthe48 Feb 2021 #5

Try grating an apple into the cabbage instead Retrograde Feb 2021 #7

That's a good idea, too. Especially since I often make apple sauce for pork meals. Vinca Feb 2021 #8
