Hot Bacon Cabbage Slaw Recipes

FRIED CABBAGE AND BACON SLAW

Steps:

• Cook the bacon until crisp, and drain. Reserve the grease, and crumble the bacon.
• Halve or quarter the cabbage and shred it finely.
• In a large skillet or wok, heat 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease and sauté the onion and carrot for a few minutes until softened. Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons of grease, and add the shredded cabbage along with half of the cooked bacon, and stir fry until the cabbage starts to brighten in color, turn glossy, and soften. This will only take a few minutes, but you can customize your slaw by cooking it a little less or more than this.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the slaw hot or warm, topped with the rest of the crumbled bacon.
• Leftover slaw stored in the refrigerator will stiffen due to the bacon grease. Bring the slaw to room temperature or heat it briefly in the microwave or in a frying pan before serving.

WARM CABBAGE SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil.
• Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat behind. Increase heat to medium-high and add carrots and onion; cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cabbage; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to wilt, 1½ to 2 minutes. Add the vinaigrette and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the bacon.

WARM SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is very soft. Remove the lid, add the apple cider and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.
