ChefLuigi Recipe ⊷ Boiled Cabbage with Bacon

Very tender, very flavorful vegetable side. Based on this recipe, seems like Army cooks don't think much of cabbage.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds cabbage, cored and chopped
• ½ pound thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 2 cups water, or more as needed
• ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup water
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Bring cabbage, bacon, 2 cups water, and vinegar to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until cabbage is very tender, about 3 hours, adding more water as needed.
2. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup water and flour together in a small bowl and gradually add to cabbage mixture. Continue to simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
