Creamed Cabbage and Bacon

I love anything with cream and this recipe allows me to combine it with another favorite -- fried cabbage. 

Creamed Cabbage and Bacon

1 savoy cabbage

6 slices streaky bacon

4 tablespoons butter, divided

2 sliced onions

2 tablespoons water

salt and pepper

6 tablespoons heavy cream

Cut the cabbage into quarters; core it and shred it finely. Thinly slice the bacon.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan and fry the bacon until crispy and golden. Remove from the pan and drain.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the pan and add the onion. When it begins to brown, add the water and then add the cabbage. Season with black pepper and a little salt.

Keep stirring for 1-2 minutes on high heat. Add the bacon.

When the cabbage is tender, add the cream. Stir and simmer until the cream thickens.
