Swamp Cabbage

Since this cabbage swamp dish is deeply regional, pair it with fried fish, boiled shrimp or flank steak. Match it with herbed rice pilaf or Spanish rice, and then offer something citrus-y for dessert, such as grapefruit meringue pie, mini Key lime and coconut pies, or sunny orange sugar cookies.

Ingredients :
  • 6 thick-sliced bacon strips, chopped
  • 6 ounces smoked sausage, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 2 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 medium head cabbage, chopped
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can hearts of palm, drained, roughly chopped
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Directions :
  1. Heat a Dutch oven or large saucepot over medium heat. Add bacon and smoked sausage; cook until bacon is crisp, 6-8 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper and celery; cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add cabbage, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; cook until cabbage starts to wilt, 2-3 minutes. Add hearts of palm, diced tomatoes and broth; bring to a simmer.
