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!
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
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Blanche cabbage briefly in boiling water, remove and drain immediately.
In a large skillet, brown bacon over medium heat until opaque; remove and drain on paper toweling.
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.
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
