It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

A full-flavored beer braise makes this cabbage dish perfect to serve alongside roast pork or grilled sausage.

6 slices bacon, diced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
kosher salt, to taste
1 head cabbage, cored and shredded
2 tablespoons brown mustard
1 bottle (12 ounce size) IPA or other full flavored beer
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until almost crisp. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 more minutes or until the onion is tender.
Add the cabbage, mustard, and beer. Mix well. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let simmer, stirring often, until the cabbage starts to wilt and caramelizes, about 20 minutes. Add a little water if needed to keep the cabbage from sticking.
When the cabbage is soft, add the vinegar and adjust the seasoning as needed. Mix well then serve the beer braised cabbage hot or warm.
