Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 gallon water
3 cups coarse kosher salt
1 6 1/2-pound bone-in pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), excess fat trimmed
3 large heads of garlic, halved crosswise
1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 large head of green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges
1 pound carrots, peeled, cut crosswise in half, then quartered lengthwise
Fresh thyme sprigs
Spicy mustard

Steps:

  • Combine 1 gallon of water and salt in heavy large pot. Stir until salt dissolves. Add pork. Cover and refrigerate 1 day.
  • Bring pork in salt water to boil. Boil 10 minutes. Carefully drain salt water. Fill pot with enough cold water to cover pork. Bring water to boil over high heat. Add garlic and peppercorns. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer gently until pork is very tender, about 3 hours. Transfer pork to large pan. Cover; keep warm.
  • Add cabbage and carrots to cooking liquid. Boil until vegetables are almost tender, about 15 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Before continuing, rewarm over medium-low heat.) Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables and garlic to serving platter.
  • Cut pork into thick slices; arrange on platter with vegetables. Spoon some hot cooking liquid over pork and vegetables. Garnish with thyme. Serve with mustard.

This is a great recipe to make ahead of time. You can cook the bacon and cabbage the day before and then just reheat it when you're ready to serve.

This is a great recipe to use up leftover bacon. I always have some leftover bacon in my fridge, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

I've made this dish with both bacon and ham and both are delicious. I think I prefer the ham version slightly better.

This Irish bacon and cabbage dish was an absolute delight! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The cabbage was tender and flavorful, and the potatoes were soft and fluffy.
