One-Pan Keto Cabbage and Bacon

When it comes to the One-Pan Keto Cabbage and Bacon, the recipe seems to be designed for those types of days when all you need is a quick and easy, yet addictive, meal. The mixture of smooth bacon and soft cabbage gives an epic flavour combination and it’s really cool that only a few ingredients are needed to make it.

Ingredients

• The ingredients you’ll need are as follows:
• 6 slices of bacon (the more the better, because who does not enjoy a good bite of bacon?)
• 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded (it seems overwhelming but even if it looks like a lot, trust me, it reduces)
• 1 small onion, chopped (not necessary but it gives that extra taste)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (garlic just enhances every recipe, don’t you think?)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (used if your pan requires a bit more oil)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, for people who wish to have some spice to their food
• Fresh parsley, for garnishing purposes (adds that dash of color)

How to Make It:

Cook the Bacon

First, take care of the bacon. Take a large skillet, put it on medium heat, and grab those bacon slices. Fry them until they are crisp and golden, then take the bacon off the heat. But that bacon fat, don’t discard it! It will work wonders in the cabbage.

Onion and garlic steps

If you prefer onions, put them in the same pot where the bacon grease was added. Make it’s finished cooking by taking it easy until appearances of translucent and softish (that’s when the onion looks sort of melted). Add the minced garlic and use it for a minute or two for the delightful burning sensation in the kitchen.

Cooking the cabbage

Shuffle it up, shove the torn cabbage into the pan. It’s gonna look like a mountain, but shrinks when cooking. Let’s keep it moving, don’t let it overheat and let it take all the love from bacon fat. Pour in some olive oil or a bit of butter if it’s feeling a bit thirsty from all that cabbaging. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of red pepper flakes if you wish to have some heat. Cook the mixture for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, while stirring occasionally, allowing it to become pliable while still being slightly raw.

Bringing it all together

Break the bacon and once again put it into the pan where the cabbage was previously, combine the two materials, and give it all a bit of a mix and taste it. It might be wise to sprinkle in a bit of salt or pepper again if it’s needed. However, for those interested, it would not be a bad idea to pour some parsley on top as an extra touch of colour.
