Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 6 Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable stock
Instructions
Cut the green cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice into thin shreds. Set aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Chop the bacon strips into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the skillet with the bacon drippings and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is softened.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the vegetable stock, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the sweet potatoes are soft.
Uncover the skillet, sprinkle the cooked bacon over the dish, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Cabbage Down Under dish!
