Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan: Used to cook the bacon and onions.
  • Small saucepan: Used to melt the butter for the butter mixture.

Ingredients

  • 1 cabbage large, cut into 8 wedges
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 2 tsp garlic crushed
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the cabbage:

  • a. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage head.
  • b. Cut the cabbage into 8 equal wedges, keeping the core intact to hold them together.

Cook the bacon and onions:

  • a. In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy.
  • b. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • c. In the same pan, add the sliced onions and crushed garlic.

  • e. Remove the onions and garlic from the pan and set aside.

Prepare the butter mixture:

  • a. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • b. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.

Grill the cabbage:

  • a. Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
  • b. Brush the cabbage wedges with the melted butter mixture on all sides.
  • c. Place the cabbage wedges on the grill, core side down.
  • d. Grill the cabbage for about 5-7 minutes per side or until lightly charred and tender.

Add bacon and onions:

  • a. Once the cabbage is grilled, remove it from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
  • b. Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the grilled cabbage.
  • c. Top the cabbage with the sautéed onions and garlic.

Serve and enjoy:

  • a. Serve the Australian Barbecued Cabbage and Bacon hot as a side dish or as a main course.
  • b. Garnish with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

Precook the bacon in advance for faster assembly.
Use pre-sliced cabbage to save time on preparation.
Brush the melted butter mixture on the cabbage using a basting brush for even distribution.
Place the bacon and onions in a separate dish to allow guests to customize their servings.
For a smokier flavor, consider using a smoker instead of a barbecue grill.
Experiment with different seasonings, such as paprika or chili powder, to add a kick of flavor.
