WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR WARM CABBAGE AND BACON SLAW
This is a mercifully short list (I know you’re hungry!)- green cabbage
- onion
- carrot
- smoked bacon
- salt and pepper
HOW TO FRY UP SLAW
Frying cabbage not only softens it a bit, but brings out the flavor and sweetness of this healthy veg ~ yum!- First cook a package of bacon until crisp, and reserve the grease.
- Then, in some of that reserved grease (how much of that grease is up to you and your conscience) fry up a thinly sliced onion, shredded cabbage and a little carrot for color.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and you’ve got a fabulous warm slaw that goes with everything.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH FRIED CABBAGE AND BACON SLAW?
I don’t want to micromanage, but I highly suggest grilling up some brats to go along with. Any type of sausage, really. It works as a side with any type of grilled meat or poultry. And be sure to top any leftovers with a couple of fried eggs.I think slaws are definitely under-appreciated for how easy they are to throw together, and how versatile they are. If you’re still stuck in the green salad from a bag rut, check out my Five Slaws You Need in Your Life This Summer for some ideas to get you started. Slaws are bright, crunchy, and incredibly healthy (bacon notwithstanding) whether they’re made with cabbage, onions, Brussels sprouts, kale, or a whole rainbow of veggies.
