Braised Pork And Cabbage Food

BRAISED CABBAGE WITH PORK

Steps:

• Finely slice the onion and put it and the dripping in a heavy-based, flameproof casserole dish. Fry the onion over a medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 mins.
• Cut the core from the cabbage and finely slice the leaves. Add this to the dish and toss everything together, cooking over a low heat while you peel and slice the apple.
• Crush the juniper and caraway seeds together and add these and the apple slices to the pan. Season and pour in the cider. Stir well and bring to a simmer, cover the dish and cook for 20 mins.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Season the chops on both sides. Heat a heavy-based frying pan on a medium-high heat with the oil and brown the chops on both sides. Remove from the pan and place in the casserole dish on top of the cabbage, adding the stock cube, crumbling it over. Put the lid back on and cook in the oven for a further 30 mins. If there is a lot of liquid in the dish, place on the hob and simmer until it evaporates a little. Check the seasoning and serve with mashed potato.

BRAISED PORK AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven (5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid), heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Generously sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove pork.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining tablespoon oil, onion, coleslaw mix, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage has wilted, about 10 minutes.
• Raise heat to high. Add vinegar, caraway seeds, and 1 1/4 cups water; bring to a boil. Add potatoes, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until cabbage and potatoes are almost tender, about 20 minutes.

GERMAN BRAISED PORK & CABBAGE - SCHWEINEFLEISCH UND KOHL

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven . Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, then add the thinly sliced cabbage and stir to coat with the fat.
• Place 1 bay leaf, 3 juniper berries, 3 whole cloves, and 10 peppercorns in the middle of a square of cheesecloth. Tie it into a bundle with butcher's twine and place on top of the cabbage (or throw them in loose, if you do not mind).
• Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar and 2 cups dry white wine and bring to a boil.
• Lay the pork on top of the cabbage, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat.
• Simmer for three hours, or until meat is tender and easy to cut.
• Remove meat to a platter and keep warm.
• To finish the cabbage, you have several choices. You might want to cook down the liquid, then thicken it by adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour made into a slurry with part of the liquid and cooking it until thick. Another option is to add a few tablespoons of sour cream to the cabbage (do not boil afterward).
• Season to taste with salt, pepper, mustard and maybe a pinch of sugar.
• Serve the pork and cabbage with potatoes, mashed or boiled, and mashed fresh peas (without mint).

BRAISED PORK BUTT WITH CABBAGE, SAUSAGE AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• Fit a wire rack in a sheet tray. Liberally sprinkle the pork shoulder with salt and pepper, then place on the sheet tray and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage to the pan and brown the links on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the sausage to a plate. Fry the sprigs of rosemary in the fat, flipping frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove to the plate with the sausage.
• If the pork shoulder is wet, dry thoroughly with paper towels. Add the pork to the Dutch oven and brown on all sides until deeply browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the pork to a large plate or baking dish.
• Add the cabbage and onions to the Dutch oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, wine, mustard and caraway seeds and cook until the wine has almost evaporated, another 8 minutes. Return the pork, sausages and fried rosemary sprigs to the Dutch oven, then add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let braise until the pork is very tender, about 3 hours.
• For a thicker, richer sauce, strain the liquid from the Dutch oven and reduce over medium heat in a small saucepan until it reaches a thin gravy consistency, 7 to 10 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with white wine vinegar, salt and pepper.
• To prepare the horseradish sauce, mix together the sour cream and prepared horseradish (add horseradish a tablespoon at a time to taste if you want a milder sauce). Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pork and sausages to a large serving dish. Shred the pork using two forks. Pour the sauce over the top and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with sour cream horseradish sauce alongside.

BRAISED CABBAGE STUFFED WITH PORK

Steps:

• To make the sauce:
• Puree the onions, carrots, celery and garlic to a coarse paste in a food processor. Coat a large wide pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it's brown and crispy. Add the pureed veggies and cook them until they become very soft and aromatic and are starting to turn brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the white wine and let it reduce by half. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, and thyme bundle and season with salt, to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Reserve.
• To prep the cabbage:
• Add the vinegar to large pot of well-salted water and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted iced water. Add the cabbage to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then immediately plunge it into the bowl of iced water. When the leaves are cool, remove them from the water and pat them dry. Reserve.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and put over medium heat. Add the onions and season with salt, to taste. Cook the onions until they are translucent and very aromatic, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl combine the ground pork, pork sausage, chicken livers, if using, bread crumbs, Parmesan, egg, rosemary and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt, to taste. Add the chicken stock and mix well to combine. Stir in the cooked onions and garlic. Make a tester patty, cook it and eat it. It should taste really good, if it doesn't, adjust the seasoning.
• Lay each cabbage leaf on a flat work surface. Spoon a generous 1/4 cup of filling into each leaf. Fold the outside edges in and roll the leaf around the stuffing. Arrange each roll with the seam side down so that the roll will hold itself shut.
• Add the cabbage rolls to the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the sauce has reduced to a thick, sauce-like consistency, about15 to 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer the cabbage rolls to a serving platter and lightly cover with the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
• MMMMMM...cabbage!

Return pork to pot and continue cooking until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 138 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove pork and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. If necessary, return vegetables and apples to oven and cook, covered, until fork-tender, 10 to 20 minutes more.
