Fried Cabbage Recipe
This fried cabbage recipe is a versatile side dish that can be used for many different occasions, from casual weeknight dinners to holiday meals. For a classic look, use green; for a bright color, use purple; and for a slightly earthy taste, use red. Try pairing it with savory main dishes like pork or beef. It's also a good idea to make it ahead of time because it keeps well in the fridge and can be reheated quickly.

1. Don't overcrowd the skillet. This will keep the cabbage from steaming and make it stay crisp-tender.
2. When cooking red or purple cabbage, add vinegar early to keep its bright color.
3. To add more flavor, sauté onion or garlic in the bacon drippings before adding the cabbage.
