  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Pan
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole cabbage
  • 1/2 White onion

Instructions
 

Prepare your ingredients

  • Measure your butter and let it soften at room temperature

Cook

  • Cook your bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-7 minutes
  • Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving all the grease on the pan.
  • In the same pan, add the diced white onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped cabbage into the skillet with the onion. Add 1 tablespoon of ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cabbage is sautéed for about 7 minutes, until buttery tender!
  • Transfer the bacon back into the pan and stir together with the cabbage.
  • Garnish with more paprika on the top and some parsley. Serve hot with some chips on the side!

Notes

  1. Replacements: Use pancetta instead of bacon for leaner meat.
  2. Cooking Method: Cook the bacon on low to medium-high heat to get it crispy and juicy!
  3. Don’t overcook the cabbage, the texture should stay a bit crunchy. 
  4. Adjusting Spice Level: Adjust the amount of paprika and ground mustard to control the dish’s spiciness. For a milder version, use less paprika or use regular mustard. You can also add any other spices you like to make it spicier! 
  5. You can store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
