1. Bring water to a boil in a pressure cooker or a large pot. Salt the water with coarse salt.
2. While the water is heating, cut the cabbage, previously peeled, into quarters, eighths, and so on until you obtain coarse slices (not too thin).
3. When the water is boiling, blanch the cabbage for 5 minutes from the moment the water comes back to a boil, so that it retains a beautiful tender green color.
4. Drain the cabbage and rinse it with cold water.
5. The cabbage should retain a good texture and not become soft.
6. Sauté the bacon lardons in a pan (be careful, do not add butter or oil: the fat from the bacon should be enough for cooking and the dish will be more diet-friendly).
7. Then, when they are nicely browned, add the cabbage and let it brown over high heat as well.
8. Finally, just before serving, add a drizzle of cream and season with pepper according to your taste.
