Fried Cabbage

A simple side dish that tastes way better than it should.

INGREDIENTS
1          slice of thick bacon or two of thin cut
1          medium leek
1          head Napa cabbage
1          head purple cabbage
2          tablespoons olive oil

METHOD
Cut the bacon into ¼ inch wide strips crosswise and set aside. Clean and slice the leek into ¼ inch rounds, crosswise, up into the darker green part, then cut the rounds into semi-circles. Yield should be about 1 ½ cups to 2 cups. Rinse and drain the Napa cabbage and slice it thinly crosswise until you have 2 ½ cups of sliced cabbage. Thinly slice and chop the purple cabbage until you have 2 cups of chopped cabbage.

Heat the olive oil n a large skillet and ad the chopped leeks. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 6 minutes until the leeks are just tender. Add both cabbages and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until they are slightly wilted. Add the bacon strips and stir into the cabbage and leeks. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately as a side dish.
