Fried Cabbage Asparagus and Bacon Recipe
Fried cabbage is a wonderful dish, especially when you make it at home and you can control the salt. This recipe uses very little salt and is great for a KETO diet, gluten-free, and dairy-free diet.
Cook bacon and remove the cooked pieces onto a paper towel.
Let the bacon drain and set aside.
Add the cut asparagus and onions in the bacon fat and cook for about 5 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and the onions are a little opaque.
Add the cabbage to the pan. Doing this will most likely fill up the pan. Add the paprika, granulated garlic, and black pepper. Then cover and cook for a few minutes. This will help bring it down so you have enough room to start to bring the bottom ingredients to the top.
Continue bringing the bottom ingredients to the top of the dutch oven saucepan until it reduces by half and the cabbage pieces look opaque. This could take about 10 or more depending on how much cabbage you are adding.
Add bacon back the reduced and cooked cabbage, asparagus, and onion.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at your Thanksgiving table!
