Sweet & Spicy Fried Cabbage

Alright Y’all

This one is a Show Stopper!!! Possibly one of the best things i've made all year!

My mother used to make fried cabbage from time to time but she fried it deep in bacon grease. I loved it then and miss it now. So I went to the garden to trim up some of the oversized greens. When cabbage is planted in soil thats very high in nitrogen it’ll put more energy into growing greens then it will making heads. So its best to trim back those larger greens every now and again. But you don’t have to throw them away!! They are wonderful to throw into vegetable stock, fry or feed your chickens!

This recipe makes enough for two people but can be easily doubled! I started by washing 3 large cabbage leaves & cutting the spines out. A trick to chopping cabbage (stack the leaves on top of each other fold them in half lengthwise & roll until you have a little cabbage trumpet!) Take your knife and rough chop!

In your skillet heat, 2 tablespoons of olive oil. While that's heating, up chop half an onion and place in skillet on medium low. You want to cook them low and slow so the natural sugars come out and caramelize! Once onions have started to soften, add in cabbage, 1/2 cup vegetable stock, and cover! Let steam and stir occasionally to keep it from scorching.

After cooking for 10 minutes stir in 1 tbs of minced garlic. 1 tsp of black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and another 1/4 cup of vegetable stock. cover and let steam for 15 more minutes or to desired tenderness.

I toped mine with an over easy egg and it was fabulous! It would be amazing with sweet potato hash or a verity of other things!

Happy cooking
