Giveaway!!
We are having a giveaway and one lucky recipient will be getting this gorgeous book, Taste of Treme. I gave it to Amber to pick a recipe and she simply couldn’t because she said everyone looked so good. I went with this cabbage recipe Grandma Shoog’s Fried Cabbage with Bacon, Onion and Garlic and served it with a pork tenderloin and broccoli.
It was so good. I did lighten it up from the original as I took off most of the bacon fat and added 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of water as needed to steam the cabbage. Sorry, just had to!!
Good luck to you all for winning this wonderful collection of Creole, Cajun and Soul Food from New Orleans, Taste of Treme. Come on over to enter our giveaway HERE.

Thanks Dina!

My kind of cooking, Tara! I admire your restraint with the bacon grease, though. I have none. Smothered cabbage is one of our family favorites and I am sure yours was delicious!

Thanks so much for the great recipe! The only issue I had was that mine was waaaaaaay too salty! Like, so salty all we could taste was salt – I wonder if 1 tbsp was supposed to be one tsp? That would make sense – I’ll try that next time for sure. I threw a couple kielbasa sausages on the top to steam for the last fifteen minutes. Good combo! My kitchen sure smelled yummy.

That was what the recipe called for but I would always do salt to taste, my preference anyway. Thanks so much for trying it and for taking the time to comment!!
