Description:
Derived from Lennie’s “Michael Symon’s Drunken Cabbage,” this recipe undergoes significant modifications, utilizing available ingredients. Initially lacking caraway seeds, they were added the next day, enhancing flavor. Resulting in a subtly sweet dish, the beer infusion offsets potential cabbage-induced flatulence. Versatile, it serves as a delightful side or a hearty main dish.
Ingredients:
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/2 head green cabbage, chopped
- 1 bottle beer
- 1-2 tsp caraway seeds
- 3 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:

| 3 | Reserve bacon grease unless excessive, then drain. |
| 4 | Stir in chopped cabbage until well coated with the bacon mixture. |
| 5 | In a 2-cup measuring cup, pour beer. Add caraway seeds, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined; expect foaming. |
| 6 | Pour beer mixture over cabbage in the skillet. Mix thoroughly with an egg spatula. |
| 7 | Cover with a lid and simmer until cabbage is tender, approximately 30 minutes. |
