Ingredients
- 4 thick sliced bacon diced
- ⅓ cup diced onion
- 1 carrot shredded
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ - ½ red pepper flakes optional
- 4 cups green cabbage shredded
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain; crumble the bacon to add before serving. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet.
- To the skillet, add the onion and cook over medium heat until softened; about 2 minutes. Slowly pour the vinegar and water into the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet, add the red pepper flakes, if using, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the cabbage and shredded carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the smaller shreds of cabbage are wilted and any larger shreds are slightly crisp; about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper; fold in the bacon. I like to reserve a few to garnish the hot slaw along with sliced green onions. Serve immediately or keep warm for up to 20 minutes.
