Cooking Instructions
A savory, smoky warm salad where tender roasted cabbage meets salty bacon and perfectly toasted nuts.
1. Finely shred the cabbage into thin strips and place in a large bowl.
2. Add salt, dried garlic, dried onion, dried parsley, cumin seeds, dried chives, and sunflower oil to the cabbage.
3. Toss thoroughly until every strand of cabbage is well-coated in oil and spices.
4. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
5. Spread the seasoned cabbage evenly on a baking tray.
6. Roast for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are lightly browned and tender.
7. Fry the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until crispy.
8. Drain the bacon on a paper towel, reserving 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
9. Place crushed walnuts in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and dampen with a tiny bit of water.
10. Microwave the walnuts on a grill-microwave setting for 3.5 minutes, then let them cool completely to get crunchy.
11. In a large bowl, toss the roasted cabbage, crispy bacon, and cooled walnuts.
12. Add the fresh lemon juice, the reserved tablespoon of bacon fat, and the smoked paprika.
13. Mix well and let the salad sit for 20 minutes to allow the cabbage to soak up the flavors before serving.
You could mix white and red cabbage.
