Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the cabbage and you are ready to go.
  2. In a 6 quart soup or stock pot with a heavy bottom, brown the pork roast in the butter over medium high heat. Make sure to brown all sides including the ends.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add cabbage, water, sugar, season with salt & pepper, cover and braise for about 1½ hours until the meat reaches an internal temperature of approximately 150º F - 165º F.
  4. Remove the pork and let it sit on a cutting board for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  5. Meanwhile, stir a teaspoon of Kulør (if you have it) to the cabbage.
  6. Plate the cabbage, top with a few slices of pork, add your side dishes and serve.

Notes

  • This is an incredible meal that really brings me back to my childhood. It also makes great left overs the next day.
