1 small white cabbage (or 2/3 medium sized, just over 1 lb)
2/3 cup vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar*
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp caraway seeds (plus a pinch more for garnish)
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt (to taste)
white pepper (to taste)
3-4 slices bacon (thick-cut, lean, smoked), optional

Steps:

  • 1. Shred the cabbage and place in a heat proof bowl. 2. Combine vegetable stock (or water), vinegar, sugar and caraway seeds in a small saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat, stir to make sure the sugar has dissolved and pour over the cabbage. Allow 15 minutes of soaking time, occasionally turning the cabbage around using kitchen tongs. 3. Optional step. While the cabbage is soaking cut the bacon into thin strips and cook in pan over medium heat to render the fat, until crispy. Place over paper towel lined plate to absorb extra fat, 4. After 15 minutes transfer the cabbage from the bowl with the vinegar liquid to a serving bowl. Be sure to drain it and discard the vinegar liquid.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cabbage, shredded
1/4 lb bacon
2 cups onions, chopped
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon into tiny bits.
  • Fry it in a big deep frying pan and fish out all the bits after they are crisp.
  • Cut up the onion and garlic and fry them in the bacon fat.
  • When they are brown, pour in the vinegar.
  • Bring it just up to a simmer, add all the cabbage and bacon, toss it as you would a salad, and serve it.
  • The cabbage doesn't cook, but it wilts a little under the hot vinegar.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage, as this will help it to absorb the dressing better.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade to shred the cabbage.
  • You can use any type of vinegar you like in this recipe, but apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar are both good choices.
  • If you don't have any bacon, you can use pancetta or chopped ham instead.
  • You can also add other vegetables to this salad, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or onions.
  • Serve this salad immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
