Cabbage is one of those vegetables that are always benched. They’re overrated, inexpensive, and available year-round. But what many people don’t know is that cabbage has impressive health benefits; it’s packed with nutrients, Vitamin C, it can lower the blood pressure, an excellent source of Vitamin K, and the list goes on. Cabbage is a simple and modest vegetable that tastes amazing too! One recipe that stood out to me is this fried cabbage with bacon, onion, and garlic. It’s effortless, the ingredients are basic; bacon, onion, cabbage, and garlic that are amazingly put together for a flavorful and delicious side dish. So if you are looking for a slightly salty, slightly sweet, buttery, delicious, not to mention hearty dinner, then you should try this. I was also amazed myself, I never thought that fried cabbage would be so good! And of course, it’s bursting with crunchy bacon so there’s nothing more I can ask for.
