Fried Cabbage and Bacon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 pounds cabbage head
1/2 pound sliced bacon
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (I also add red pepper flakes)
Cut the cabbage into quarter. Remove any wilted and
discolored outer leaves and cut out the core from the cabbage pieces.
Cut the cabbage into a large 1-inch dice.
Cook the bacon in a 4-quart pot over medium heat
until crisp.. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain.
There should be about 1/2 cup of bacon drippings in the pan.
Add the cabbage to these drippings and cook without stirring until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
Add the water, sugar, salt, and pepper and cook covered
until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes.
Crumble the cooked bacon into the cabbage and serve hot.
Vegetarians can leave out the bacon or use fake bacon.
