Red And Green Cabbage Slaw With Bacon Recipes

FRIED CABBAGE AND BACON SLAW

• 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.
