Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

 

5 thick-cut slices bacon
Olive oil, if needed
5 cloves garlic
1 medium green cabbage
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt
ground black pepper

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Heat  5-quart or larger Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add bacon, cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, most of  fat is rendered, 8 – 10 minutes. Remove with  slotted spoon to  paper towel-lined plate. Take  pot off  heat,let cool  few minutes. If you have less than 3 tablespoons of grease in  pot, add olive oil to make up the difference.

Place Dutch oven back over medium-high heat; add  garlic, stir. Place  cabbage wedges cut-side down in  pot. Cook undisturbed until  cabbage pieces on bottom begin to slightly brown, 4 -5 minutes. Using  wooden spoon, bring up  cabbage sitting on  bottom to rotate  pieces on top to  bottom of  pot. Continue cooking until  cabbage slightly wilts and more pieces brown on  edges, 7 – 8 minutes.

Reduce  heat to medium. Add  broth, bay leaf,  salt. Simmer, stirring every few minutes, until cabbage is tender, all the liquid is evaporated, 20 – 25 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in  vinegar. Taste, season with salt, pepper as needed. Scatter bacon on top.
