I don’t usually come back to comment on recipes after making them but this was so good I have too.
I had a couple of cabbages to use up and found this recipe.
It’s really delicious and the “broth”? I ate the with a spoon like a soup.
I added a small amount of garlic with the mustard seeds but other than this followed the recipe fully.
This will be added to my regular recipes.

(“Boiling bacon” is nothing like American bacon- it’s from the pork collar, not pork belly, and the texture/taste is much more similar to ham, which means boiling it isn’t a disgusting idea lol. Also, in Ireland, they wouldn’t cook this kind of cabbage, just use it for making slaw. We don’t really have Irish cooking cabbages here but the closest thing I’ve found is a Savoy cabbage- much looser, softer, different flavor.)

Definitely needed more seasoning than just salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds. But the consistency was awesome! Very low maintenence recipe that can easily be made every month (with way more seasoning). I added garlic powder, onion powder, & Cajun seasoning.

This is so crazy to me I’ve never liked my parents corned beef and cabbage or hash or whatever it is so I never really ate it growing up but I recently attempted to make my own version of it to see how it turned out. 2 years later, today, I did a quick Google search as I was putting all my ingredients in my pot, just wondering if anybody else liked or used the same type of recipe or way of cooking it as I do because nobody else seems to have had it done my way that I’ve talked to about it. And this is exactly like my recipe and cooking method to a T. and I never looked it up the first time cooking it this way… and I’m Irish more than anything else in my DNA

I made this for my son’s Irish fiance who was visiting recently. She had told me previously that Bacon and Cabbage was her favorite meal. I showed her this recipe, and she said it was legit, even using “streaky bacon” as she called the bacon we find in our grocery stores. This meal was a HUGE HIT! Everyone loved it! I will be making this again and again.

Hi Lis,

Hmmm, I wonder if they are using savoy cabbage, it tends to be darker in color. Can anyone else weigh in on this?

It had some dark green to it. ]]> I just returned home from Ireland and haven’t been able to find the answer to this question: the green cabbage 🥬 in Ireland seemed different than the green/white cabbage in the states.  (I did not have this recipe, just boiled cabbage as a side veg) I really loved the flavor, and wondered if that variety was ever sold here. It had some dark green to it.

Couple suggestions for the noobs. 1) once you have fried up the bacon and onions then remove to a mixing bowl etc then place the broth, mustard seed and cabbage into the pot and placed bacon mixture on top as it’s quite difficult to bring all that bacon/onion up without losing cabbage to the dog 🙄😄
2) use the bacon grease(as the OP suggested) and just about a cup+/- of broth as you will get additional juices from the cabbage as it cooks down but you can always add more to your liking.
3) it’s probably going to take 30-45+/- minutes in reality
4) it’s gonna need quite a bit of salt
5) it’s gonna be goooooo—ooood

Also Irish bacon is more lightly cured and not smoky like American bacon.
