As a change from coleslaw, this salad goes particularly well with roast pork.

1/4 lb. bacon
1 medium onion
4 Tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. sugar
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. cumin seeds, lightly crushed

Directions

Wash the cabbage. Slice into very thin strips.

Place into a saucepan. Cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 min. Drain well.

Cut bacon crosswise into thin strips. Fry until crisp.

Peel and chop the onion. Add to the bacon, sauteeing for 1 min.

In a bowl, combine the cabbage, bacon and onion.

In a separate bowl, blend the vinegar, sugar, salt. black pepper and cumin seeds. Pour over the cabbage, mixing well.

Cover and chill for at least 30 min to blend flavors. Serve cold.

Comments

Good served with: Any cut of ham, pork or with sausages.

To crush cumin seeds, put the seeds on a board and pound with the bottom of a bottle, if you do not have a mortar and pestle.
