Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice to the water.
  2. Add the shredded red cabbage to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, fry the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp.
  4. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings in the skillet, discarding the rest.
  5. Add the sliced onion to the remaining bacon drippings in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  6. Stir in the flour, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.
  7. Gradually whisk in the water and vinegar to create a smooth sauce.
  8. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a glaze consistency.
  9. Return the cooked cabbage and crumbled bacon to the skillet.
  10. Stir gently to combine the cabbage and bacon with the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with diced fresh tomato.
