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).

Tips:
- To ensure tender and flavorful meat, cook the pork butt low and slow. Braising for at least 2 hours allows the connective tissues to break down, resulting in fall-apart tender pork.
- Use a variety of liquids in the braising liquid to impart different flavors. Common choices include broth, beer, wine, or a combination of these. You can also add aromatics like onions, garlic, carrots, or celery to enhance the flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. Common choices include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and oregano. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- To prevent the cabbage from becoming too soggy, add it to the braising pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This ensures that it retains its texture while still absorbing the flavorful braising liquid.
- Serve the braised pork butt with a variety of sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
Conclusion:
Braised pork butt with cabbage, sausage, and mustard is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The pork butt is cooked low and slow until it is fall-apart tender, and the cabbage and sausage add a delicious savory flavor. The mustard adds a tangy kick that balances out the richness of the pork and sausage. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
