Instructions
- 1Place an approximately 30 cm skillet over medium-high heat. Add the about 225 g of bacon, sliced, to the dry skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
- 2Add the 1 medium onion, chopped, to the bacon fat in the skillet. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened. Add the 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- 3Add the 1 medium head cabbage, shredded, and the 0.5 cup vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork.
- 4Reduce the heat to low. Add the about 113 g dairy-free cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- 5Crumble the reserved crispy bacon over the cabbage mixture in the skillet. Add the 0.5 teaspoon salt and the 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Stir everything together to combine.
- 6Stir in the 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped. Cook for 1 minute more to allow the flavors to meld.
- 7Serve the bacon and cabbage hot.
