Receta Sauteed Cabbage and Bacon

by Thomas Grossmann

Here is the perfect side dish for an Oktoberfest dinner.

1 small green cabbage

• 6 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Quarter cabbage, then core and cut into large pieces (about 2-by 3-inch).

Cook bacon in heavy 12-inch skillet over medium heat until it begins to sizzle, about 3 minutes.

Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is browned, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in cabbage and remaining ingredients and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until cabbage softens, about 10 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper then transfer to a serving dish.
