Ingredients:

450 g

Slab Bacon

1 tsp

Celery Seed

2 tsps

Salt

Directions:

1

In an 8-quart stockpot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil over high heat

2

Blanch the cabbage by submerging it in the boiling water just until it turns a dull grayish purple, about 5 minutes

3

Drain in a colander, shake the colander for a minute or so to remove excess water, and reserve

4

Scatter the bacon in a 12-inch dry skillet over medium-high heat

5

With a wooden spoon, move the pieces around until the bacon is firm and barely crisp, about 4 minutes

6

Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve

7

Pour the vinegar into the skillet

8

It will hiss and pop at first but will soon subside

9

Swirl the vinegar around with the spoon, stirring up any browned bits of bacon

10

Add the celery seeds and red pepper flakes and stir

11

Add the cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat it with the vinegar

12

Add the salt, pepper, and reserved bacon, and continue to sauté, stirring the cabbage around the pan until all its bright magenta glory has returned, about 4 minutes

13

Place the slaw in a bowl and shake pepper vinegar over it to taste

Pass the cruet at the table for those who wish to fire it up further
