Ingredients
1 large head (about 3 pounds) green cabbage
4 slices extra-thick bacon, cut into 1-inch squares
1 cup water
2 tablespoons Smash Seasoning, recipe follows
One 10-ounce bag baby carrots
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Smash Seasoning:
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Directions
- Core cabbage and chop into 2-inch pieces. Clean thoroughly and let drain.
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon halfway through. It will release its fat and be lightly browned, but still moist.
- Add the cabbage, water and Smash Seasoning. Cover and reduce to a simmer and steam 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Drain water from pot and add carrots. Cover and simmer another 15 minutes, until carrots are tender. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Smash Seasoning:
- Mix ingredients thoroughly and keep in a tightly sealed container for up to 6 months.
