Smothered Cabbage
This smothered cabbage recipe is easy to make. Most recipes call for chicken stock but I’ve added beef stock instead for a richer flavor. The addition of carrots also adds some sweetness.
1 tablespoon of vegetable or canola oil 4 slices of thick bacon, sliced 1 large sweet onion, chopped 2 cups of diced carrots 1 large cabbage, chopped roughly 2 cups of beef stock 1 teaspoon of kosher salt ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy pot over medium high heat. Add the sliced bacon, onion and carrots. Cook for 7-10 minutes. Add the cabbage, beef stock, salt pepper, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, sugar and apple cider vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid and cook on a low to medium temperature and cook for 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally. Take the lid off of the pot and return the heat to medium high heat. Cook an additional 5 minutes to allow some of the stock to evaporate from the cabbage. Serve while hot.
