Recipe for "cabbage-salad"

NAME

     CABBAGE-SALAD - Wilted cabbage salad with bacon
     This is a wonderful  thing  to  do  with  cabbage.  With  no
     garlic,  and  using cider vinegar, it becomes German cabbage
     salad. Adding sour cream to that makes Danish cabbage salad.

INGREDIENTS (serves 8)

     1         cabbage, shredded.
     120 g     bacon
     300 g     onion, chopped
     1 clove   garlic, chopped
     125 ml    white-wine tarragon vinegar

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Cut the bacon into tiny bits, fry it in a big deep
               frying  pan,  and fish out all the bits after they
               are crisp.
          (2)  Cut up the onion and garlic and fry  them  in  the
               bacon fat.  When they are brown, pour in the vine-
               gar.
          (3)  Bring it just up to a simmer, add all the  cabbage
               and bacon, toss it as you would a salad, and serve
               it.  The cabbage doesn't cook, but it wilts a lit-
               tle under the hot vinegar.

NOTES

     Cut the vinegar with a little water if you don't  like  very
     sour things,

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes.  Precision: no need  to
     measure.
