Recipe Directions
- In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy.
- Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and set aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet, along with the paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the cabbage is cooked to your desired level of tenderness, stir in the cooked bacon pieces.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions, if desired, before serving.
