Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 pound red cabbage (about 1/2 small head), thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
4 salmon fillets, with skin (5 ounces each)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add cabbage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, vinegar, and 1/2 cup water to pan; raise heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until cabbage begins to wilt and liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Transfer cabbage to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Season skinless sides of fillets with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place fillets, skin-sides down, in hot skillet. Cook, without turning, until skin is very crisp and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn fillets; cook until flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes. Transfer fillets to a plate, and loosely cover with foil. Keep skillet on stove with heat off.
  • Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel; place over medium-high heat. Add mustard and 1/2 cup water to skillet; when the water begins to bubble, whisk until smooth. Cook mixture until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide cabbage among four plates, and top with fillets. Drizzle mustard sauce over fillets. Season with pepper, and serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon RawSpiceBar's Horseradish & Mustard Seeds
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bundle cabbage, sliced
1 piece onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add vegetable oil and make sure it's shimmery, then sprinkle RawSpiceBar's Horseradish & Mustard Seeds across the surface and cover immediately, cook until seeds stop popping, about 1 minute.
  • Remove cover, turn heat to medium-low and add diced cabbage and onion. Add butter and salt, toss to combine, stirring until vegetables begin to wilt, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Turn heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. Remove from heat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. For this recipe, a firm, medium-sized cabbage is best. Avoid using a cabbage that is too soft or has brown spots.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the cabbage plenty of room to cook and prevent it from overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If the cabbage is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use will add flavor to the cabbage. A good option is a vegetable broth or a chicken broth.
  • Add some aromatics. Aromatics, such as onions, garlic, and celery, will add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Season the cabbage. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for this dish. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or paprika, to taste.
  • Simmer the cabbage until it is tender. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the cabbage hot. Mustard-braised cabbage is a delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses.
