How to Make Warm Cabbage With Bacon And Thyme
- In a large heavy frying pan or skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. About 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon and set aside.
- Add the diced apple to the bacon drippings in the pan. Cook gently for 3-5 minutes, until the apple begins to soften.
- Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir well to coat with the apple and bacon drippings.
- Stir in the bay leaf and thyme.
- Sauté over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or apple juice if the cabbage seems too dry.
- When the cabbage is cooked to your liking, stir in the white wine vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Heat through for 1 minute.
- Remove the bay leaf.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Stir in the chopped chives.
- Serve immediately, topped with the crispy crumbled bacon.
