Best 6 Pork Tenderloin Smothered In Cabbage Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage all over with the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub the pork with salt, pepper and the coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, 8 minutes (reduce the heat if the pork is getting too dark). Transfer the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage; reserve the skillet. Roast the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145˚, 13 to 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Continue roasting the cabbage until browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until toasted, 30 seconds. Stir in the vinegar and sugar, then pour in 1/3 cup water, scraping up the bottom of the skillet. Cook until a thin sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the pork and divide among plates along with the cabbage. Spoon the bell pepper mixture over the pork; top with the parsley.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Butterfly the pork tenderloin: Slice lengthwise down the middle of the pork, cutting about two-thirds of the way through, and open like a book. Pound the pork with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until about 3/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Mix the fennel, garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl; rub the mixture all over the pork and set aside, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the cabbage to the boiling water and cook until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain the cabbage again and blot very dry with kitchen towels. Combine the cabbage, lemon juice, parsley, walnuts, Parmesan and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork until well marked and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Divide the cabbage salad among plates. Slice the pork and arrange on top; season with pepper.

SMOTHERED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Combine water, ham hock, and pork shank in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until meat is cooked through, about 2 hours. Drain and set meat aside to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Remove meat from pork shank, chop into bite-sized pieces, and place in a bowl. Remove skin and meat from ham hock, chop into very small pieces, and add to the bowl, omitting skin if you prefer.
• Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add 1/4 of the cabbage to the hot skillet and saute until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 of the meat mixture. Add another 1/4 of the cabbage, cooking until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes, followed by another 1/4 of the meat mixture. Repeat until all cabbage and meat have been added. Season with salt and pepper. If mixture sticks to the skillet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons chicken broth.
• Slowly add remaining chicken broth to the cabbage-meat mixture in the skillet, give it a good stir, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until cabbage is tender, 30 to 45 minutes.

SIMPLE PORK AND CABBAGE SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops in the hot oil until well-browned on each side, about 10 minutes per side.
• Add the cabbage, onion, apple, 2 cups of water, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and place a cover on the skillet. Cook at a simmer until the pork chops are completely tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove the pork and vegetable mixture from the skillet, leaving as much of the liquid in the skillet as possible. Whisk the water and flour together in a small bowl. Raise the heat under the skillet to medium-high. Pour the flour mixture into the remaining liquid in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer an additional 5 minutes. Pour the gravy over the pork and vegetable mixture.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, raisins, vinegar, cider, 1/4 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the liquid is almost gone. Add salt and more vinegar to taste.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the pork with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides, then transfer to a roasting pan (reserve the skillet) and roast until a thermometer inserted into the meat registers 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Boil the broth in the skillet until reduced by one-third. Mix the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, whisk into the broth and boil 1 minute. Stir in the horseradish. Slice the pork; serve with the cabbage and sauce.

PORK CHOPS & SMOTHERED CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. In a large, deep skillet or dutch oven heat cooking oil. Brown seasoned pork chops in cooking oil until light brown. They do not have to be completely cooked as they will continue to cook in the cabbage. Stir in onions and saute until tender.
• 2. Add chopped cabbage and stir well. Add 1 tablespoon of Salt and Pepper (or to taste). If you like spicy food you may want to add a little red pepper.
• 3. Stir mixture well and pour in 12 oz. of water. Cook on medium low heat until cabbage is very tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. If you cook it on high heat, the cabbage will shrink more. Stir several times during this time. If cabbage tends to stick, add a little more water.
• 4. You can serve this as a side dish or serve over rice (like us Cajun's do) as a main dish.
