IRISH BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP
This is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green colour of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful colour.

YUKON GOLD COLCANNON WITH SAUTEED KALE AND CABBAGE AND BACON BUTTER
Steps:
- For the colcannon: Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well, then return to the pan.
- While the potatoes are cooking, combine the butter and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Add to the potatoes and mash until smooth, adding more milk as needed. Season well with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until rendered and crisp, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside for the bacon butter. Remove 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan; reserve this separately for the bacon butter.
- Add a tablespoon or two of canola oil to the pan, depending on how much bacon fat remains. Heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the garlic, mustard seeds if using, and chile flakes; cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high, add the kale and cabbage, in batches if needed, a splash of water and some salt and pepper. Cook until the greens begin to wilt, tossing constantly at first, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add the sugar and vinegar; cook for another 2 minutes.
- For the bacon butter: While the greens are cooking, combine the butter, reserved bacon fat, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Fold in the reserved bacon and the green onions. (See Cook's Note.)
- Finish the colcannon: Combine the mashed potatoes and the sauteed greens in a bowl. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with a few dollops of bacon butter. Place in a warm oven (200 degrees F) until the butter begins to melt, about 5 minutes.

- Reduce the heat to medium and add the cabbage to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until slightly wilted, about 4 minutes. Pour the apple juice, honey and vinegar around the sides of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has cooked off, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the apples and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine. Turn off the heat and stir in the scallions and crumbled bacon.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, saute your diced bacon for about five minutes until it starts to release its fat. If it's really fatty, drain some, so that you keep about a tbsp of bacon fat in the pot. Add your carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook for about 10 min, until vegetables are soft.
- Add your chicken broth, water, and all of your spices except for the salt (be cautious with the salt--this soup can easily get too salty). Cover pot with lid. Bring to a boil. Add the beans and the cabbage, and let come to a gentle boil again. At this point, bring it to a gentle simmer on a lower heat and let it simmer away for about 30 minute Stir every once in a while so nothing sticks to the bottom.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. If you'd like, add the tsp of salt here, if it needs it. If you find you want to bring out the sweetness of the cabbage just a touch because your bacon is too smokey, add the sugar. (I liked the small bit of sugar.).
- Simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting seasonings as needed. Discard your bay leaf and serve. Garnish with a tbsp of freshly grated Parmesan (it adds a really nice nutty depth to the soup.).
- Stored in an airtight container, soup will keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
POTATO PIEROGI WITH CABBAGE AND BACON
Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in cabbage and salt to taste and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, or until cabbage is very tender and beginning to brown. Stir in vinegar and 1 tablespoon parsley.
- While cabbage is cooking, heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook pierogi until bottoms are golden. Turn pierogi over and add water to skillet. Simmer until water is evaporated and bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. (If pierogi are large, cook in 2 batches, using half of butter and water for each batch.) Stir in remaining tablespoon parsley.
- Serve potato pierogi over cabbage mixture.

Steps:
- Fry bacon until golden in a heavy three-quart casserole. Remove bacon from pan and drain on absorbent paper.
- Dry chicken pieces and brown them well, a few at a time, in the bacon fat in the pan. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat out of the pan.

Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned particles. Add the cabbage to the pan, cover and cook over very low heat until the cabbage is wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the wine, thyme, pepper and the bacon. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat about 35 minutes, until the chicken is done.
- Arrange the chicken on a serving platter. Arrange the cabbage mixed with bacon alongside or around the chicken, draining it well to leave as much cooking liquid as possible in the pan. Cover to keep warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm, green cabbage. Avoid cabbages that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the cabbage.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the cabbage and bacon plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.
- Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook until it's tender: Stir the cabbage frequently so that it cooks evenly. The cabbage should be tender but still have a bit of crunch to it.
- Season the cabbage with salt and pepper: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the cabbage and bacon immediately: This dish is best served hot. It can be served as a side dish or a main course.
