This recipe for Irish cabbage with bacon, melted butter, and nutmeg is the most delicious way to cook cabbage. If you can't find Irish bacon, regular works fine but drain well. If you don't like nutmeg, leave it out.

Ingredients

1 medium head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges
2 slices Irish bacon, diced
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup red wine vinegar

Directions

Place cabbage into a large pot. Add water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, crumble and set aside.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Drain cabbage and transfer to a baking dish; drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with crumbled bacon and nutmeg.
Cook under the preheated broiler until the top layer is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve with salt, pepper, and vinegar as desired.
