Braised Red Cabbage with Bacon

6 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
  • 3 pounds cabbage
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Make it step by step

  1. In a 4- or 5-quart saucepan, cook bacon till done. Remove bacon strips from pan and set aside. Chop cabbage into approximately inch-cube size pieces and cook in bacon drippings until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Cabbage cubes will fall apart but this is fine; do not overstir. Add beer, balsamic vinegar and stir. Add remaining ingredients and cook until cabbage softens, about 5 minutes. Crumble bacon and sprinkle bacon pieces on top. Serve immediately.
