- 4 pieces of thick bacon
- 2 tablespoon Irish butter
- 2 teaspoons dried dill Order Here
- salt
- pepper
- 1 small apple optional
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar optional
Instructions
- Take outer leaves off cabbage. Rinse any dirt off of cabbage.
- Cut bacon across into lardons.
- Saute the bacon well, but not to super crispy.
- Add garlic cloves to bacon grease.
- Slice onion in thin slices, cook in the bacon grease with lardons, just until softened but not browned and then add in cabbage and Irish butter. Remove garlic cloves.
- Cook on low heat, while stirring occasionally until the cabbage is softened. Add in a touch of lemon zest at the last few minutes for fragrance. Add in fresh dill if you have it, but dried will be okay too.
- You can choose to brown the cabbage by turning the heat up to medium high. If you can refrigerate and reheat, you will have more flavor, but it's not necessary.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Options: If you are adding an apple, slice thinly (can leave skin on) and sauté with onion.
