Ingredients
- 3.5 ounce butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 sprig of thyme, roughly chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cabbage, diced
- 1 stalk of celery, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 6 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into one-inch cubes
- 2.3 pound pork collar, feet left on
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped
Directions
- Heat an ovenproof dish or tray over a medium flame. Add the butter, garlic, onion, thyme, and bay leaf. Sweat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add cabbage, celery, carrot, clove, cinnamon, and apples. Sweat for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the liquid and the pork shoulder, skin side up.
- Cover with a lid or foil and place in an oven at 300 degrees for 1.5 hours.
- When the pork is cooked, the meat will come away easily with a fork. Turn the heat up to 400 degrees and crisp the skin 20 to 30 minutes.
- Ensuring that the liquid doesn’t boil dry (add a little water if the liquid evaporates), rest for 20 minutes before removing from pot, carving, and serving.
- Add the chopped parsley to the juices and vegetables and spoon over the cooked meat.
- Serve with buttered new potatoes and crusty bread.
