Steamed cabbage with bacon and mushroom

I love this cabbage with bacon side dish! It’s a delicious quick and easy recipe to have as a side to any dinner. I usually have mine with sausages or chops!

Ingredients (serves 4)

1/4 cabbage chopped roughly
350gm sliced mushrooms
2 bacon rashers
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Add vegetable oil to a saucepan and put on medium heat.
Chop up bacon rashers into small pieces and add to saucepan, cook for one minute.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook for five minutes constantly stirring.
Chop up cabbage roughly into long strips and add to saucepan. Mix all ingredients and then put lid on saucepan. Turn heat down to low. Give it a stir every minute. Cook for five minutes.
Add garlic, salt and pepper, mix well. Cook for one more minute with lid off.

Notes

You can also add onion if you like.

I continue to use this recipe as a side when I have cabbage that I need to use up. Cabbage, bacon and mushroom delight enhances so many meals.

With the weather we have now the cabbages have seemed to matured at once so this will be handy to cook up for meals. Love bacon and cabbage together.

I’ve never been a lover of cabbage but just recently I have acquired a taste for it. And always looking for new ways to use it. This looks delicious.

My parents grow cabbage so this would be a great dish to try.
Farm fresh cabbage is the best!
