• 1 lb(450g) shredded cabbage (any variety)

• 2oz (50g) Shannon bacon

• 1 onion finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 clove garlic crushed

• salt and pepper

Take a large fraying pan and begin by frying the onion and bacon.
Together in olive oil for about 5 minutes.
Then add the crushed garlic
and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Now stir in the shredded cabbage
(which will seem rather bulky at first, but as the heat gets to it ,it will start to collapse).
Keep stirring it now and then so it cooks evenly.
Season with the salt and pepper
taste before seasoning.
The cabbage should cook in about 10 minutes
and still retain its crispness.
But if you prefer it softer put a lid on the pan
which will give it some steam.
