Trinxat (Cabbage and Potato Cake)

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 small green cabbage, shredded
• 6 oz cured bacon or pork belly, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, sliced
• 3 tbsp olive oil or lard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1Boil the potatoes and shredded cabbage together in salted water until both are very tender, about 20 minutes.
2. 2Drain thoroughly and mash the potatoes and cabbage together with a fork, keeping some texture.
3. 3In a heavy skillet, render the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp, then remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
4. 4Fry the garlic slices in the rendered fat until golden and fragrant, then remove and reserve.
5. 5Season the mashed potato and cabbage mixture with salt and pepper, then press it into the hot skillet to form a flat cake.
6. 6Cook until a deep golden crust forms on the bottom, about 8 minutes, then carefully flip and brown the other side.
7. 7Slide the trinxat onto a plate and top with the crisped bacon and fried garlic before serving.
