CABBAGE-SALAD() - FRENCH CABBAGE SALAD
FRENCH CABBAGE SALAD - Wilted cabbage salad with bacon
This is a wonderful thing to do with cabbage. With no garlic, and
using cider vinegar, it becomes German cabbage salad. Adding sour cream to
that makes Danish cabbage salad.
INGREDIENTS (serves 8)
- (1)
- cabbage,
shredded.
- 120 g (1/4 lb)
- bacon
- 300 g (2 cups)
- onion,
chopped
- (1 clove)
- garlic,
chopped
- 125 ml (1/2 cup)
- white-wine tarragon vinegar
PROCEDURE
- (1)
-
Cut the bacon into tiny bits, fry it
in a big deep frying pan, and fish out all the bits after they are
crisp.
- (2)
-
Cut up the onion and garlic and fry them in the bacon fat.
When they are brown, pour in the vinegar.
- (3)
-
Bring it just up to a simmer, add all the cabbage and bacon, toss it as
you would a salad, and serve it. The cabbage doesn't cook, but it
wilts a little under the hot vinegar.
NOTES
Cut the vinegar with a little water if you don't like very sour things,
