Ingredients
- 1/2 large white cabbage
- 500 grams of diced organic smokey bacon (about 8 strips of bacon cut in 1-inch pieces)
- 1 large onion
- 4 garlic buds diced
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp black ground pepper
- 2 Tbsp of ghee or olive oil (if using organic bacon 1 Tbsp)
Directions
- Step 1 Dice your bacon into 1-inch pieces and fry in a large frying pan. Add a tbsp of ghee if using organic bacon. It tends to have less fat.
- Step 2 Dice the onion into small pieces. After frying the bacon, add the diced onions. Stir over medium heat until onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3 Add the diced cabbage and stir fry on medium heat until the cabbage is tender. Serve warm. It’s even great cold! You can store the leftovers in a sealed container for 4 days.
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
