(Matthew Mead | AP) This Jan. 25, 2016 photo shows simple beer braised cabbage with bacon in Concord, N.H. The bacon is crisped up in a large, heavy pot, then some onions are quickly sauteed in a bit of the remaining fat. Then the cabbage is added, along with the beer of your choice, and in 30 minutes you have a dish that may be modest in cost and appearance, but quite grand in flavor.
