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).

BEER BRAISED BBQ PORK BUTT
Steps:
- Combine rub ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Rub all over pork butt. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour and as long as overnight.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Unwrap pork and place in a roasting pan with sides about 2 inches high. Cook 45 minutes until dark browned and even blackening in places. Remove from oven. Lower oven to 325 degrees F. Pour beer over the top and add chopped garlic around the pork. Cover tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil or twice with regular foil. Poke about 10 holes all over the top of the foil. Cook pork butt 2 1/2 hours longer until so tender that it comes away very easily from center bone.
- Place the meat on a plate and pour the pan juice (there will be plenty) into a saucepan.
- To the pan juices add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer until reduced by half and thick, about 20 minutes.
- While the sauce is boiling down, pull apart the pork with 2 forks. Pour the sauce over the pulled pork and work through until fully absorbed.

Yield Makes 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 32
Steps:
- Make the pork sausage:
- At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, chill all of your tools, including the bowl of the stand mixer, in the freezer.
- In a large bowl combine the pork butt, bacon, fatback, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, coriander, garlic and onion powders, and Worcestershire sauce and stir well to combine.
- Using your meat grinder, grind the meat mixture through the medium die into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Cover the meat mixture and refrigerate until ready to use. Stuff the meat mixture into the sausage casings, and for best results, chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- Make the purple cabbage:
- In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil. Add the red onion and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the cabbage, vinegar, and chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Make the apple chutney:
- In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the apples, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, and water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is jammy and slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Cook the sausage:
- Using a toothpick, prick each sausage a few times. In a heavy, large skillet over moderate heat, warm the olive oil and butter until hot but not smoking. Add the sausage and cook, turning over a couple times, until golden brown on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the sausage to a cutting board and cut into smaller pieces for serving.
- To serve:
- Divide the cabbage among 4 plates then top with sausage and apple chutney.

Steps:
- Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of pork to pot and sauté until brown, about 6 minutes; transfer to bowl. Repeat with remaining pork. Add garlic, green onions, and ginger to pot; sauté 1 minute. Return pork and any juices to pot. Add 1 1/2 cups broth, soy sauce, sugar, crushed red pepper, and five-spice powder; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until pork is very tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Stir remaining broth and cornstarch in cup to dissolve; mix into pork.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork. Pork butt, also known as Boston butt, is a well-marbled cut of meat that is perfect for braising. It is located at the shoulder of the pig and has a good amount of fat, which helps to keep it moist during cooking.
- Sear the pork butt before braising it. Searing the pork butt helps to develop flavor and color. To sear the pork butt, brown it on all sides in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the pork butt is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the braising liquid. Vegetables such as onions, carrots, celery, and garlic add flavor and depth to the braising liquid. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid. The braising liquid is what gives the pork butt its flavor, so it is important to use a flavorful liquid. You can use a variety of liquids, such as broth, stock, wine, or beer. You can also add herbs, spices, and seasonings to the braising liquid.
- Cook the pork butt until it is fall-apart tender. The pork butt is done cooking when it is fall-apart tender. To test the pork butt, insert a fork into the meat. If the fork goes in easily, the pork butt is done cooking.
Conclusion:
Braised pork butt with cabbage, sausage, and mustard is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The pork butt is fall-apart tender and the cabbage and sausage are flavorful and filling. The mustard adds a tangy flavor that brightens up the dish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
