Cabbage and Bacon Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Cabbage and Bacon Recipe, first boil a piece of salt pork until it is about three-quarters cooked. Then take it out of the water, drain it, and place two or three rashers of bacon in the saucepan. Lay on these a cabbage which has been thoroughly washed and cut into quarters, and put the pork over the cabbage. Cover the whole with nicely flavored stock, and pepper, nutmeg, and parsley, but no salt, as it will most likely be found there is sufficient in the bacon and stock. Simmer gently until the cabbage is cooked. Place the vegetables on a hot dish with the pork in the midst of them; thicken the gravy, and pour it over the whole. Time to boil the cabbage, twenty minutes. Sufficient for four or five persons.
