Rinse the chopped cabbage well in the sink.

Add a little oil to a large skillet and heat it up.

6

Brown the salt pork on one side, then turn it over and brown the other side.

Season with black pepper and a little salt, being cautious not to over-salt due to the salt pork.

Mix the cabbage and meat together in the skillet.

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cabbage steam, checking periodically for desired tenderness.
