Czech Cabbage Dish

Caregory : Low Calorie Recipes

I can only attempt to spell the real name of this dish; Cabushka or something like that! My mother's father was from Czechoslovakia, and he has three sisters who are excellent cooks. I have learned to cook this dish quite happily. At our last reunion, there were three separate bowls with different versions of this same dish; they were all scraped clean!

Ingredient

    • 1 large head cabbage, shredded

    • ¼ pound bacon, chopped

    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

    • 1 small onion, chopped

    • 1 stalk celery, chopped

    • ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper

    • 3 tablespoons white vinegar

    • ½ teaspoon salt

    • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Direction

    1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Blanche cabbage briefly in boiling water, remove and drain immediately.

    2. In a large skillet, brown bacon over medium heat until opaque; remove and drain on paper toweling.

    3. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet; add the 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Add onion, celery and bell pepper and saute until crisp-tender.

    4. In a large bowl combine the prepared cabbage, bacon, sauteed vegetable mix (with oil), vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well and serve warm, or chill and serve later
