Cabbage may be one of the most humble vegetables, but it’s also one of the easiest to make into a heartwarming, homey, comforting, and star-worthy vegetable. And what’s the best way to improve that sad head of cabbage? Of course I’ll fry it.
First, use lots of butter (the best recipes always include lots of butter), then add bacon, garlic, celery, peppers, and onions. We’re building a solid flavor base here. Next is the cabbage, then Creole seasoning. This is essential. The fat from the bacon will melt and create a heavenly, crunchy caramelized cabbage. That’s a revelation.
