Fried Cabbage

Need another way to fix cabbage?
My husband doesn’t eat many vegetables (he’s a “meat and taters” man) and he never liked cabbage…until we got married and he tried my fried cabbage!

Fried Cabbage
Put enough grease in your skillet to cover the bottom of the pan and put on medium to medium-low heat.
Chop enough cabbage to fill your pan, and then some (mound it up above the sides, the cabbage will shrink as it cooks); it usually takes about 3/4 of a head for a 10 in. skillet.
Drizzle with a little more grease (or oil), cover and let it cook a while until it starts wilting.
Turn it a time or two, until all the cabbage is soft; then sprinkle with salt, pepper and celery seed (about 1/2 tsp. each).
Keep turning until the cabbage is as done as you like it, add fresh chopped garlic during the last 5-10 min.

Notes:
-
You can use any oil you like in place of the bacon grease, but the bacon grease gives it a better flavor –sometimes I use a combination of bacon grease and olive oil.
-
I don’t measure a whole lot when I’m cooking, so the measurements are approximations.
-
If it’s too spicy, use less pepper and garlic.
-
This takes about 45 minutes to an hour to cook, depending on how done you like it –we like ours fried ‘til it’s brown.
Yum! I hope you all like it, too.
