Categories     main-dish

Time 12h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 3- to 4-pound boneless pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 links (about 12 ounces) sweet Italian sausage
2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 head green cabbage, sliced
1 Spanish onion, sliced
2 cups marble potatoes
2 cups white wine
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
4 to 6 cups chicken stock
White wine vinegar, such as Chardonnay vinegar, for seasoning
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

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.

CABBAGE AND PORK SAUSAGE - TRIPP SAUSAGE



Cabbage and Pork Sausage - Tripp Sausage image

Posted from the web in response to a recipe request. To stuff the casings, you will need a meat grinder with a sausage horn attachment. If you don't have such a device, use the mixture to make fried patties by shaping 1/4 cup of filling into a 1/2 inch thick patty and frying in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h20m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon white pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 1/2 tablespoons sage
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons salt
1 onion, peeled and chopped
3 1/2 lbs cabbage, cored
10 lbs pork butt, de-boned and cubed

Steps:

  • To prepare casings: Let casings soak in cool water about five minutes to remove salt on outer surface (no longer, or they will become too tender to stuff) and flush salt from the inside by placing one end on faucet nozzle and turn on cold tap water (if you see holes or water leaking, cut and discard).
  • Remove casing from faucet and gently squeeze out water; cover rinsed casings and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Boil the cabbage until tender.
  • Drain and cool.
  • Grind cooked cabbage with the onion and meat.
  • Add remaining ingredients
  • Fill the casings and make links by twisting the sausage where you wish the links to be.
  • Four inches is a good size for a regular serving, smaller links may be made for appetizer servings.
  • Place the sausage in large saucepan or dutch oven in a single layer with a little water; cover and heat over high heat to a low simmer.
  • Reduce heat to maintain low simmer (sausages may burst if cooked at too high a heat) until the sausage is heated through and meat is thoroughly cooked, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Drain and let rest for about 15 minutes before slicing; serve while warm.

Tips:

  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the cabbage.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and cabbage, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Season the pitas with garlic butter: This will add a delicious flavor and help keep the pitas moist.
  • Serve immediately: Pork sausage and cabbage pitas are best served immediately, while the food is still hot and fresh.
