Preparation

  1. Core, shred, wash and drain the cabbage. Toss it in a bowl with 3 teaspoons of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp, remove and set aside. Place 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in a skillet and discard the rest.
  2. Heat the fat over medium heat until hot. Add the cabbage and cook, turning it constantly, just until hot and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, caraway seeds, sugar and vinegar. Divide among 6 plates, top with bacon and serve.
