Description

Tender shredded pork, slow-cooked to perfection, is paired with sweet and savory cabbage and onions. A comforting, flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3-4 lbs (1400-1800 g) pork butt
  • 1 tbsp liquid smoke
  • Sea salt
  • 1 head green cabbage sliced into thin strips
  • 2 medium onions sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup (237 ml) chicken stock or broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Rub the pork with liquid smoke and salt.
  3. Wrap pork tightly in aluminum foil and place in a shallow roasting pan.
  4. Roast in the oven for 4-5 hours, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C).
  5. Remove the pork from the oven and let it cool until it can be handled.
  6. Place the cabbage, onion, and chicken stock in a skillet and sauté on medium-high heat until the vegetables are soft but not brown, and the chicken stock is mostly gone.
  7. Pull the pork into thin shredded strips and combine with the onion and cabbage in a baking dish.
  8. Place in the oven (at 325°F (163°C)) and cook for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the flavors have combined.
  9. Serve.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use bone-in pork butt.
  • If you don’t have liquid smoke, you can add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika instead.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
