Chef's tip
Cook it only until crisp, adding a little oil to the pan - vegetarian bacon cooks much faster than pork bacon and can scorch. If the recipe simmers or bakes the bacon further, set it aside and stir it back in near the end.
1 small head green cabbage (about 2 lb), cored and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Add the bacon pieces to a cold 12-inch skillet, then set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
2
Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
