Ingredients
- 1 bunch of Asparagus
- 1 small onion
- 6 slices of Bacon
- 1 Napa Cabbage
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt (optional)
Instructions
- For Asparagus: Clean and cut the asparagus. Then, cut off the ends and cut into two pieces. Set them aside.
- For Onion: peel and chop the onion and set it aside.
- For Bacon: Using scissors, cut the bacon into small ½ inch strips.
- For the Napa Cabbage: depending on the size, remove the outer layers and then quarter and chop the cabbage to make small pieces.
- Measure out the rest of the ingredients. Set aside.
- Now, it is time to cook the dish!
- First, heat a large dutch oven (Affiliate Link) high side pan. Add your bacon pieces. Cook the bacon until it gets browned. It should take about 10 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain. Set aside.
- Now, add the asparagus and onions in the bacon fat and cook for about 5 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and the onions are a little opaque.
- Add the cabbage to the pan. Doing this will most likely fill up the pan. Add the paprika, graduated garlic, and black pepper. Then cover and cook for a few minutes. This will help bring it down so you have enough room to start to bring the bottom ingredients to the top.
- Continue bringing the bottom ingredients to the top of the dutch oven (Affiliate Link) saucepan until it reduces by half and the cabbage pieces look opaque. This could take about 10 or more depending on how much cabbage you are adding.
- Now, turn off the range and pour or spoon into a serving bowl.
Notes
Keep in mind that salt is optional. It depends on the bacon and what type of bacon you used.
