Southern Cabbage is an easy southern side that goes great with chicken and pork and makes a wonderful addition to a holiday meal. Cabbage is slow cooked until tender in chicken broth flavored with bacon and onion, plus a few red pepper flakes if you want some heat.
Southern Cabbage is one of my very favorite foods ever so I enjoy making it even outside of the holiday season. It is supposed to be a side, but to me it’s a main dish because whenever I make it or see it on a buffet, it’s the only thing I want. I think most cabbage lovers can relate.
Southern Cabbage Recipe
This recipe is easy to make and convenient- only 3 ingredients plus a few seasonings are needed.
As the cabbage simmers, the chicken broth reduces, concentrating its flavor. It tastes so goody’all, I eat the cabbage first and then drink every bit of the broth. It’s the best part. You can either slurp it up or sop it up with a piece of cornbread.
There’s no better way to cook cabbage than to simmer it in chicken broth with onion and bacon. The cabbage cooks up soft and tender with all of the awesome flavor of the chicken broth and the cabbage adds flavor to the chicken broth as well. It’s a totally symbiotic relationship.
The chicken broth, especially once it boils down some and the flavors concentrate, should add plenty of saltiness together with the bacon. But if you need to, salt to taste at the end.
How To Serve
This cabbage dish goes well with just about any southern meal. Especially Fried Pork Chops or Southern Baked Chicken. Round out the meal with some Buttermilk Cornbread and Southern-Style Green Beans.
