For the cabbage salad, remove the outer leaves and stalk from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage finely, preferably with a cabbage slicer, add salt, pepper and caraway seeds.
Leave to stand for half an hour to 1 hour. Cut the bacon into cubes and fry in a large pot.
Brown the cabbage with the bacon and lightly caramelize with sugar, then deglaze with 2/3 water and 1/3 apple vinegar and cook with the lid closed until the liquid is reduced.
Pour a little vinegar over the cabbage until it is cooked. Be careful that the cabbage remains firm to the bite!
