How to Make Cabbage And Piggies

  1. Trim and quarter the cabbage (about 1.5 lbs) and wash it thoroughly.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the quartered cabbage and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. While the cabbage cooks, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon (6 slices, or 4 oz low-sodium) and cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
  4. Once the cabbage is cooked, drain it well in a colander. Roughly chop the cabbage into bite-sized shreds using a sharp knife. Gently squeeze out any excess water.
  5. Place the shredded cabbage in a warm, deep serving dish. Arrange the cooked bacon pieces on top of the cabbage.
  6. Drizzle the bacon fat from the skillet over the cabbage and bacon.
  7. Season generously with salt (adjust based on bacon’s salt level), freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of allspice.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy large helpings of this delicious and satisfying meal!
