-Add 3 ounces diced Pancetta (or 5 strips thick cut bacon) and 2 cloves chopped garlic.
-Take the kernels off 2 ears of corn and add to the pan.
-Cook over medium heat until the Pancetta is crisp, about 5-6 minute.
-Stir in the cabbage and cook for another 10-12 minutes until the cabbage is lightly browned.
-Add 1 cup of vegetable or chicken stock and cook 3-5 minutes more.
-Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
