Ingredients

6 1/2" thick pork chops

2 heads coarsely sliced cabbage

2 -3 tablespoons cooking oil

2 cups onion, diced

5 - 6 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 cup dried parsley

1/2 cup tomato sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Season chops with salt and pepper and brown in oil in large Dutch oven.

Remove chops.

Put onions in the pot with 1/4 cup water.

Scrape bottom of pot to release any browned bits.

The onions need to be caramelized to mahogany finish, 30 - 40 minutes.

When onions are ready add garlic, black pepper,salt and parsley.

Mix thoroughly and cook until you smell the garlic, about 1 minute.

Add tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water.

Put 1 1/2 heads sliced cabbage into pot but DO NOT STIR.

Place chops on top of cabbage, turn heat to medium low and cover pot.

Allow cabbage and chops to "smother" for about 20 minutes.

Open the lid, stir and add the remaining 1/2 head of cabbage.

There should be a rapidly boiling 1 to 2" of juice at the bottom of the pot.

Add water is necessary.

Replace the lid and "smother" 15 to 20 minutes more.

Stir cabbage and pork, cover and smother another 15 minutes.

Taste cabbage and adjust seasonings to taste.

The first cabbage in should be wilted but not mushy.

The second cabbage should be cooked but still have texture.

Turn off the heat.

The cabbage will continue to cook so err on the side of under-cooking it.

Serve the cabbage and its juices over steamed rice.

Serve chops to the side.

I must try this. I love cabbage too. I don't understand why it has gotten such a bad rap overt he years. It's one of my favorite vegetables.

I can't imagine that it couldn't be done in a crockpot, Barb. I'd just be sure to check its liquid every so often. Enjoy!

Well, km, I might just go with a big loaf of rustic bread with this one. Maybe boiled potatoes would be another option. Whatever you decide, enjoy it!
