Braised white cabbage with bacon & thyme

I love cooking my white cabbage like this – not only does it cook extremely quickly (which is good, considering most people think it has to cook for hours) but it's delicious. The key is to slice the cabbage nice and fine. This is the kind of thing I'll have next to chicken or ham.
