Cook The Book: German Hot Slaw
- 6 rashers thick-sliced bacon
- 1 small onion, grated
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 pound green cabbage, shredded
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, thinly sliced
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Crisp the bacon in a 12-inch straight-sided pan over medium heat. Remove and reserve the bacon. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until semi-translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the vinegar and add the brown sugar, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until reduced and slightly thickened. Pour the dressing into a small bowl.
- Return the pan (and any bits of dressing still left in it) to medium heat. Add the cabbage and caraway and saute until warm and slightly browned but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the bacon and dressing to the pan and toss to coat. Taste, season with salt and black pepper, and serve immediately.
