Polish Fried Cabbage with Bacon (Kapusta Smazona z Boczkiem)

Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cabbage
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 teaspoon Caraway Seeds
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, shred the 1 medium head Cabbage into thin strips. Dice the 1 medium Onion into small, uniform pieces. Cut the 6 slices Bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. 2Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 6 slices Bacon to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon pieces are crispy and golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels; leave the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
3. 3Add the diced 1 medium Onion and the 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil to the skillet with the rendered bacon fat. Cook over medium heat (350°F / 175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are softened and translucent.
4. 4Add the shredded 1 medium head Cabbage and the 1 teaspoon Caraway Seeds to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to combine the cabbage and caraway seeds with the softened onions and cooking fat, then cook over medium heat (350°F / 175°C) for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has some browned edges.
5. 5Return the cooked 6 slices Bacon pieces to the skillet with the cabbage. Add the 1/2 teaspoon Salt and the 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, then stir everything together well to combine all ingredients.
6. 6Serve the Polish Fried Cabbage with Bacon hot.
