Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork cottage roll
• 1 head green cabbage
• 4 large carrots
• 6 medium potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 10 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the pork cottage roll into a large stockpot or Dutch oven.

Step 2

Add 10 cups of water to the pot, ensuring the pork is fully submerged.

Step 3

Peel and crush the garlic cloves, then add them to the pot along with the bay leaves and black peppercorns.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for 90 minutes. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface as it cooks.

Step 5

While the pork is simmering, prepare the vegetables. Peel the carrots and cut them into large chunks. Quarter the potatoes (you can leave the skin on if desired). Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into wedges. Peel and roughly chop the onion.

Step 6

After 90 minutes, carefully add the carrots, potatoes, onion, and cabbage wedges to the pot. If needed, add more water to ensure everything is submerged.

Step 7

Simmer the mixture for an additional 45-60 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the pork is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 8

Taste the broth and add salt if needed, keeping in mind that some cottage rolls are already salty.

Step 9

To serve, remove the pork cottage roll from the pot and slice it into thick pieces. Arrange the pork slices and vegetables on a large serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Ladle some of the flavorful cooking broth over the dish and serve warm. Enjoy this comforting meal!
