Fried Cabbage with Bacon

500 g thick sliced bacon, cut in squares
1 large head green cabbage, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 tbsp bacon fat (reserved from cooking the bacon)
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
Pinch chilli flakes
¼ tsp SIDS SMOKEY BBQ RUB

Cut the bacon strips into squares.
Cut the cabbage in half, cut out the core and cut the cabbage in bite-sized chunks.
Heat a very large frying pan over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring a few times, until all the bacon is browned and crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate you’ve covered with a double layer of paper towels, to drain.
Remove and keep all the bacon fat from the pan. Heat the pan over medium-high heat until the bacon fat is shimmering. Add the cabbage and cook 5-6 minutes, turning a few times so the cabbage cooks on all sides. Add the crisp bacon back into the pan with the cabbage, sprinkle lightly with SIDS SMOKEY BBQ RUB and cook 5-6 minutes more, turning frequently to get the bacon flavour throughout the cabbage and to get the cabbage nicely browned on all sides.
When the cabbage is softened to your liking, season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste. If you’d like a bit of heat, add a pinch of chilli flakes.
Serve hot.
This will keep in the fridge for a day or two and can be reheated in a hot frying pan, but it’s best freshly made.
