The next time you need something to serve with that pork roast, have a skillet of Country Fried Cabbage. I love cabbage any way you fix it. I use the cabbage that I froze last fall and it works great. There were six bags of cabbage hidden under the peaches and blueberries.
In a heavy skillet, fry 4 strips of bacon. Remove when crisp and set aside. Core the cabbage and divide into quarters. Place in the skillet, cooking over a medium flame. Add a pinch of sugar. Salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir, allowing the cabbage to wilt and brown. Garnish with the crumbled bacon.
Don't forget the cornbread.
I love fried cabbage! I did not know to freeze cabbage however, a great solution for small families and a large head of cabbage. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could freeze cabbage -- except in freezer slaw. How do you do this? Thank you Bev! :)
ReplyDeleteQuarter or rough chop your cabbage and place on a large sheet pan. Put it in the freezer until frozen solid. Remove from pan place in a zip lock bag and back in the freezer. Take out what you need for whatever you're making.
ReplyDeleteBev...back up...you froze cabbage? How did you do that?...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI did not know you could freeze cabbage. I thought it would get watery. I LOVE fried cabbage. I've never used bacon though. I chop in onion, squash, celery, carrot and throw in some mrs. dash and fry til tender-crisp. YUM!
ReplyDeleteBev, PLEASE write a post on how to freeze cabbage. I never knew you could freeze it!! Looks like the texture, etc. would be gone when thawing ... of course, it wouldn't matter with fried cabbage, which I love. Please tell us how you do it. Thanks, Friend.
