Half linen

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 1 m.-large white cabbage
• 1 onion(s)
• 150 g bacon cubes (or if you prefer meatier: smoked pork)
• 1 kg potatoes (approx.)
• 1 bay leaf
• 300 ml vegetable stock
• some peppercorns
• n. B. Nutmeg

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Quarter the cabbage and remove the stalk. Cut crosswise into wide strips (about the width of a finger). Peel the potatoes and cut into pieces. Fry the bacon in a large pot over low heat and brown lightly. Remove from the pot and sauté the cabbage and potatoes in the fat. Pour enough stock into the pot to cover the bottom by about 4 cm. Place the bay leaf and, if desired, a few peppercorns on top, close the lid, and simmer for about 25 minutes (11 minutes in a pressure cooker). Finally, stir in the bacon cubes. Season everything to taste with pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Pickles are traditionally served with this dish – but you don’t have to like them. If you use smoked pork instead of bacon, simply sauté the meat on top of the potato and cabbage mixture.
