Boiled Bacon & Cabbage Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

2 1/2 lb collar of bacon
1 medium-sized cabbage

Recipe Preparation

(NB: in Ireland, "bacon" can mean *any* cut of pork except ham. When
people here want what North Americans call bacon, they ask for
"rashers" or "streaky rashers". As far as I can tell, "collar of
bacon" is a cut from the hock, picnic shoulder, or shoulder butt (I
am here using terms from the diagram in THE JOY OF COOKING). You want
any thick cut of pork, with or without bones, about four inches by
four inches by four or five inches. It does not have to have been
salted first, but if you want to approximate the taste of the real
Irish thing, put it down in brine for a day or two, then (when ready
to cook it) bring to a boil first, boil about 10 minutes, change the
water, and start the recipe from the following point. .

Place the joint in a pot, cover with cold water and bring to the boil,
Remove the scum that floats to the surface. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2
hours (or 30 minutes per pound). Cut cabbage into quarters and add to
pot. Cook gently for about 1/2 hour, or until cabbage is cooked to
your liking. (Test constantly: don't overdo it!) Drain, and serve
with potatoes boiled in their jackets, and a sharp sauce -- mustard
or (if you can get it) HP sauce.

Food Tips of the Week

Diet tips

At the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Reducing carbohydrates might mean missing out on required nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those obtained from vegetables, fruits and grains.
Increased consumption of animal-based products might lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the probability of coronary problems.
The brassicas, Healthy superfoods that aid Weight loss
(includes Kale, Lettuce, Mustard greens and Rutabaga)
Altthough not always popular with children, these vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins (including vitamin c and folate), minerals (selenium and potassium, for example), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, isothiocyanates, and indole-3-carbinol.

Over and above their numerous other beneficial effects, the isothiocyanates in these are thought by experts to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer.
