2 tbsp olive oil
4 or 5 slices of pancetta or streaky bacon, cut into bite-size pieces

Salt (if needed) and white pepper, to taste

Method

Place a frying pan over high heat, add the olive oil, and fry the bacon pieces until golden brown. Add the chopped cabbage, garlic powder, turmeric, and white pepper. Mix well to combine with the bacon and continue frying until the cabbage wilts, colors slightly, and retains some crunch. Taste and add salt if needed (bacon is usually salty enough).
