Ingredients

8 ounces bacon, diced
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups chicken stock
2 pounds Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place medium-sized roasting pan on burner over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.

Place cabbage in a roasting pan with rendered bacon fat, stir in the vinegar, honey and chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast in the oven until wilted, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the mint. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the cooked bacon.

Too much work for an average dish
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

It tasted good. Though, it was too much oven work for just a Napa cabbage. I mean, can't we just cook this in a pot? I... listened "null"'s opinion and reduced the red wine vinegar way down and it worked fine.Read more

Too much Vinegar
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

When I made this the vinegar really overwhelmed the recipe and made my whole apartment stink. The cabbage tasted mostly like... vinegar except when you bit into a bacon piece, which was good, but then why not just eat bacon? Maybe I should have used a different red wine vinegar - the one I used wasn't the best in the store, but it certainly wasn't the worst either - or maybe I wasn't using the correct type of cabbage and that made all the difference, but I didn't expect it to come out that badly given all the rave reviews on this website.Read more

Beautiful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this as a side for pork tenderloin and it was delicious. Added julienned carrots and sliced onions to get some more... veggies in. Hubby said I outdid myself with this one. Didn't tell him it was with the help of Bobby Flay! Bobby's recipes are extremely well written, I keep having continued success with them. Thanks Bobby!Read more

Wonderful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy to put together although I forgot the honey! I served it with very spicy baby back ribs (cooked ala Tyler... Florence-low and slow), the mint in the cabbage was a refreshing compliment to the heat of the ribs. Will definitely do again and probably pair with something hot & spicy!Read more
