Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 6 Bacon strips
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Vegetable stock

Directions

Step 1

Cut the green cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice into thin shreds. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into small 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Chop the bacon strips into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the skillet with the bacon drippings and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is softened.

Step 6

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded cabbage, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable stock, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the sweet potatoes are soft.

Step 9

Uncover the skillet, sprinkle the cooked bacon over the dish, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Cabbage Down Under dish!
