Southern Fried Cabbage With Onions Food

SOUTHERN FRIED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a large skillet or dutch oven cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain using a slotted spoon, reserving 4 Tbsp drippings in skillet.
• To the drippings add onion. Saute over medium-high for 3 minutes or until beginning to brown then add garlic and fennel seed, if using. Saute for 1 minute.
• Add cabbage to skillet. The skillet will be full but, the cabbage will shrink as it cooks. Once it begins to shrink, add salt, onion powder, granulated garlic, pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix well.
• Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until cabbage has softened and is browning, about 15-20 minutes.
• Crumble bacon and add back to the cabbage or use to garnish the top.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or pot warm olive oil and butter on medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic - sauté until they become soft and slightly lucid.
• Now add half of the cabbage, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and stir.
• Add remaining cabbage stir, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cook until tender but not so much that it becomes easily mashed. The fork should penetrate large cabbage veins easy.
• I like to caramelize the dish a bit by cooking with a lid for half the cooking time then stick around and watch and stir a couple of times until the edges of the cabbage turn a little brown. The flavor will be sweet and savory.
