Braised Pork Butt With Cabbage Sausage And Mustard Recipes

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 WITH CABBAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned on all sides, turning as needed, about 8 minutes total. Remove from pot.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil if pan is too dry, along with onion, garlic, caraway seeds, and a splash of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add vinegar and bring to a boil, then add cider and broth and return to a boil. Add cabbage, fennel, and 1 apple. Return to a boil, then reduce to a vigorous simmer, cover, and cook 7 minutes, stirring once.
• Add pork, nestling it into vegetables. Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, 15 minutes. Remove pork and add remaining 2 apples, turning vegetables and pushing apples down into liquid. 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.
• Transfer vegetables and apples to a platter. Slice pork and add to platter. Stir butter into liquid in pot, then season with salt and vinegar. Serve pork and vegetables with sauce on the side.
