Directions
-
Cut away and discard the core of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage lengthwise into eighths, then cut each piece crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. You should have about 12 cups loosely packed. Set aside.
-
Heat the butter in a heavy, flameproof casserole or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid over moderately high heat.
-
Add the pork chops to the casserole. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
-
Scatter the chopped onion and minced garlic around the chops. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are wilted and fragrant.
-
Pour in the dry white wine and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
-
Add the prepared cabbage, cumin, bay leaf, thyme, whole cloves, and water. Stir to combine.
-
Cover the casserole closely and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the cabbage to become tender.
-
Add the halved kielbasa sausage to the pot. Cover and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until the sausage is heated through and the cabbage is very tender.
-
Discard the bay leaf and whole cloves before serving.
