Render the bacon in a wide skillet over medium heat, until crispy. Move the bacon out onto a paper towel to drain, then crumble with your fingers.
To the pan with the bacon fat, add the onions, carrots and garlic. Sauté on medium for about five minutes, until the veggies start to get tender. Season with a good pinch of salt. Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the pan, along with the thyme and another good pinch of salt. Cook on medium for 20-30 minutes, using tongs to gently toss it around every few minutes. You’ll want the cabbage tender and luscious.
Serve garnished with chives (or anything you have!), the crumbled bacon and hot sauce on the side. Makes a fantastic side dish, or a meal as a whole. Happy quarantine, hahahaha! Oh.
Serves 4.
