Cabbage Steam-Sauteed with Pancetta
Sauteed Cabbage with Pancetta
Desperation one night led to this tasty dish.
I bought a head of cabbage intending to make an Italian-American cole slaw. It didn’t happen. Now what?
As I looked in the fridge for something to eat when I got home from a long day at work the cabbage caught my eye. Next to the cabbage was a fat slice of house-cured pancetta from my butcher. Bingo!
In less than a half-hour those 2 ingredients and a hunk of crusty bread became my light dinner.
Saute small cubes of pancetta in a pot with a little olive oil. When the pancetta is golden-brown add the cabbage and toss the cabbage with the pancetta. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add a little water, cover the pot and let the cabbage steam until it is soft and tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook the cabbage until the water is almost all gone.
Put the cabbage on a serving plate and drizzle with olive oil and your done.
The mellow sweet cabbage strewn with salty, meaty pancetta is a complex taste and texture treat, simply delicious. So much flavor from just 2 quickly cooked ingredients.
Serve the cabbage as a side for meat and fish or eat it up for a light meal.
Buon appetito!
