The ingredients & instructions are listed below the video for measurements & directions. Please enjoy this webisode of Cooking with Kimberly:

1 cabbage – washed, trimmed, quartered, cored and chopped into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 tbsp olive oil or peanut oil
1/2 tbsp bacon fat
smoked sea salt – I used Drogheria Smoked Cyprus Sea Salt.
freshly ground pepper – to taste; ordinary salt or sea salt is okay
1/4 tsp sweet smoked paprika powder – I used La Chinata Sweet Smoked Paprika; regular paprika powder is okay, if that’s what you have
1/8 tsp hot smoked paprika – I used La Chinata Hot Smoked Paprika; cayenne is okay, if you don’t have it
pat of butter
sprinkling of sugar – if needed

In a large, hot saute pan, melt bacon fat and olive oil.
Add cabbage into saute pan. It may seem like way too much cabbage, but it will wilt as it cooks and you will have just enough for 4 persons.
Season with smoked sea salt, pepper, sweet paprika powder, and hot smoked paprika powder.
Cook cabbage on medium high heat until the cabbage has softened, stirring frequently, so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. If needed, you can add a bit of water to prevent sticking.
When cabbage has softened to the point that it is as tender as you like it, tasting it from time to time, remove from heat – about 20 – 30 min.
Add a pat of butter or a bit more, so the cabbage has a nice gloss. Depending on how old the cabbage is, it might need a sprinkling of sugar on it to combat any strong flavor that remains. You could add half of a chopped apple, if you don’t use sugar. Stir through and return to heat for a few minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
