Alabama Style Fried Cabbage - Gluten Free

From Mom Ollie's Juke Joint Recipes

The Carver Theater

Fourth Avenue N. and 17th Street North
Birmingham, Alabama



The Carver Theatre started as a motion picture theater where African-Americans could see first-run movies. Like most theaters during the Jim Crow Era, the Carver also doubled as a venue for jazz legends such as Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton.
 
 
 

1 head green cabbage, shredded
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Apple Cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Precooked bacon (or sausage) if desired 
Tabasco Sauce


Clean and shred the cabbage head.

Add oil to a skillet and heat accordingly.

Add cabbage to heated oil. Reduce heat to medium and stir-fry cabbage for 3-4 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste, vinegar, bacon or sausage.

Constantly stir the cabbage until it's done.

While the cabbage is cooking it will reduce in volume by half.

At this point check to see if the cabbage is crisp and tender. If so the cabbage is ready to eat.

Add extra salt and pepper if desired.

Sprinkle Tasbo Sauce on top and serve.
