How to Make Bacon And Cabbage Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Finely chop the cabbage (about 1 medium head).
- Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- In a large skillet, sauté the onion and carrots in the reserved bacon grease until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the chopped cabbage and cook until slightly wilted (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked cabbage mixture, cooked rice, crumbled bacon (if using), egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape into a loaf.
- Bake for 90 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dish!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
