Bacon & Cider Braised Cabbage
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
1 small green cabbage, cut into wedges
200g bacon, diced
1 onion, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs Norco Unsalted Butter, plus extra for finishing
½ cup cider
½ cup Coles vegetable Stock
1 tsp Coles sea salt, plus more to taste
1 tbs Coles baby capers
2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
1 bunch chives, finely chopped
½ bunch parsley, finely chopped
Method
Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden and crisp.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until softened. Pour in the olive oil, add a pinch of salt, and stir to combine.
Cut the cabbage into wedges and place them into the pan. Allow to caramelise, then add the butter. Let it cook for a few minutes until golden brown.
Pour in the cider and vegetable stock. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the cabbage is tender and deeply caramelised.
Scoop the cabbage onto a serving plate. Sprinkle over the capers, parsley, and chives. Season with sea salt and finish with an extra knob of butter.
