* 1 head green cabbage * 1 large sweet onion halved and sliced * 4 garlic cloves coarsely chopped (optional) * ¼ cup bacon fat melted * ¼- 1/2 cup bone broth wine or water smoked * Coarse sea salt or coarse celtic sea salt * Caraway seeds optional
**INSTRUCTIONS**
* In a 6-8 quart crockpot add the melted bacon fat. Add the onion with the heat on high. * Lop off the tough stem end of the cabbage and divide it into 12 wedges. Keep the core attached so the wedges stay intact after the long cooking time if you like it that way – I don’t bother myself because it makes it easier to stir around in the crockpot. * Layer the cabbage wedges into the crockpot. * Pour the broth or wine over top. Add the salt and caraway if using. * Cook the cabbage on high for 1 hour. Check it and stir the cabbage gently to move the top pieces below to cook through more fully. Top with more broth or fat if needed. * Continue to cook on high for up to 4 hours. In my crockpot about 3½-4 hours is perfect but it can go for up to 5 hours on high. * Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar if you like or even a drizzle of raw apple cider vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. * At this point you can serve the cabbage or store it in the fridge for later. When you need to reheat it, just place it in baking dish in the oven at 425 and bake for 15 minutes until slightly browned.
