Cavolo Stuffato

This is an Italian dish, it's name meaning Cabbage Stew. It serves around 10-12, depending on serving size, and size of cabbage heads.

Ingredients:

2 heads of cabbage
1 onion, cut up
1 can of diced tomatoes, undrained
1 lb of bacon, cut into pieces
Salt and pepper to taste

Add a small amount of oil into a large pan, and start saute-ing the onion and bacon. Meanwhile, cut up the cabbage into bite-sized chunks, and add to the pan. Then, add the water and diced tomatoes, and begin boiling. You'll need to stir it every few minutes, so that it cooks evenly. You may need to add more water, I don't ever measure how much I put in (make sure not to boil off all the water.). Cook for 40 minutes, or until cabbage is tender. Serve over rice. If you have any leftover, its just as good re-heated.
