Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season pork with salt and pepper and roast on a baking dish or tray for 1 hour. Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Place pork in a large oven-proof casserole or Dutch oven; add red cabbage mixture, Cover and return to oven. Braise, stirring cabbage once or twice, until internal temperature of pork has reached 170°F (77°C), 1 ½ to 2 hours. Shoulder cuts can be cooked to a higher final internal temperature due to their generous fat content which bastes the meat naturally as it cooks and becomes tender. Remove pork and cover loosely; let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Stir the red cabbage thoroughly over medium heat for three or four minutes. Slice pork thinly and serve with braised red cabbage.
*Tip: Any pork shoulder roast can be used in this recipe. For a bone-in roast, add at least 30 minutes to both the roasting and braising times.*
