A comforting and hearty, yet very simple dinner, these flavourful Sautéed Bacon, Cabbage and Potatoes are perfect after a day spent gardening! Happy Sunday!
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Rinse and scrub new potatoes thoroughly under cold water, and place them in a medium pot. Add coarse sea salt and cover with water. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, then cook for about 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside, to cool.
Heat a large, deep, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon rashers, and fry, about 2 minutes on each side, until they just start crisping up. Transfer bacon rashers to a plate, leaving bacon fat in the skillet.
Add butter and olive oil to the skillet, and reduce heat to medium. Add dried rosemary; cook, 1 minute.
Cut reserved new potatoes into thick slices and add to the skillet, coating in herbs, butter, oil and bacon fat.
Remove outer leaves of the Savoy cabbage and the hard core in the middle. Rougly chop cabbage and stir into the skillet, coating well. Fry, 5 to 7 minutes until tender.
Finally, chop reserved bacon rashers, and return to the skillet. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook, a few minutes more.
Serve Sautéed Bacon, Cabbage and Potatoes hot.
