Cabbage and Potatoes

PaulaG's Note:

I found a similar recipe on the web and wanted to reduce the fat content without losing the flavor. This was the end result. The bacon and bacon fat are minimal but a must for the proper flavor.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 slice bacon, diced
• 2 medium red potatoes, scrubbed and diced in 1/2 inch cubes
• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 lbs green cabbage, coarsely chopped
• 2 -3 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup hot water
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds, crushed
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. In a heavy skillet, fry bacon until crisp, do not drain.
2. Add potatoes and onion, cook until lightly browned.
3. Stir in cabbage, vinegar and hot water.
4. Continue to cook over medium heat until cabbage is wilted and potatoes are fork tender; stirring frequently.
5. The water should cook out, if needed raise heat and continue to cook until the cabbage and potatoes are lightly browned.
6. Sprinkle the caraway seeds over all and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

This was a really good dish. I changed the proportions a little to have more potato and less cabbage. The bacon definitely makes it. I used 2 pieces of Trader Joe's uncured beef bacon, which is low in fat but has lots of flavor. We had this as a main side dish, so it fed 3.

Another keeper, Paula. I increased the bacon, I just couldn't help myself. My first time using caraway, and think this was one of the things that really gave this tater dish a real zing. Thanks for a great meal. Made for ZWT6

Wow, this was really delicous! We devoured this at dinner and I'm looking forward to eating a little bit of the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The caraway seeds lend a wonderful flavour to the cabbage. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 6 :)
