Take the first leaves of the cabbage off (and compost). Slice the rest of the cabbage into 5 mm medium pieces. Place the cut cabbage into a large bowl and cover with boiling water.
In a large pot heat up olive oil, to which you will add diced onions. Turn heat to medium and let them get soft. Add sliced bacon to the onions and oil and let them brown (not too crispy). – To make it vegan just skip the bacon.
Drain cabbage out of the hot water and add to the pot. Cover the cabbage about 3/4 of the way up. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally and with the lid off.
About 40 minutes in add the diced skinless tomato. When it’s just about done add the chopped up dill (handful).
Serve hot, by itself or with some meat, fish or fried eggs. Sit yourself down and enjoy!
