3 slices of bacon 4 tablespoons of butter, divided 1 cup of chopped onion 1 medium to large head of cabbage, chopped (about 10 to 12 cups) 1 teaspoon of sea salt 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, optional Dash dried red pepper flakes, optional

Chop the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the onion and saute about 4 minutes.

Add the remaining cabbage, stir, reduce to a low simmer, cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until cabbage reaches the desired consistency, stirring several times. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the cider vinegar. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired.

    We tried this tonight, I have never eaten cabbage before in my life, my mom would always try to get me to eat it, nope I wouldn't do it. My fiance found this recipe and made it and I loved it. We did however substitute kosher salt with sea salt. - 12/30/14

    I'm glad you like it! I usually can't stand cabbage. There are very few cabbage recipes that I like, but I love this one. I use sea salt, too. Not sure why it says kosher salt. I'll change it.
