Braised Pork over Cauliflower Mash with Cabbage Slaw

This recipe for braised pork is a hearty and comforting dish that relies on the power of red wine, tomato paste, and a few key vegetables to really make it shine. We think the pork is ideal on top of buttery mashed cauliflower. For textural contrast, we’re pairing the pork and cauliflower with a tangy and crunchy red cabbage slaw that’s a snap to make. We think this meal is delicious for anyone, but those adhering to a Keto diet will find that it fits in their meal plan. If you’d prefer mashed potatoes instead of cauliflower you can substitute an equal amount of small, boiling potatoes, but increase the starch time to fifty minutes.

Note: We do not recommend scheduling this cook, as the raw cauliflower should not sit unrefrigerated.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 1 ½” pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced 
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 12 oz cauliflower florets, cut into 1” pieces
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, warmed
  • 1 small red cabbage

Directions

1) In a large bowl, toss together 2 lbs pork shoulder, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 onion, 2 celery stalks, 4 garlic cloves, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp ground black pepper. Divide mixture evenly between two Suvie pans and broil for 15 minutes.

2) While the pork broils, cut cabbage in half and then thinly slice halves into thin ribbons (if you have a mandolin, this is a great time to use it). Transfer cabbage to a bowl with 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and 1 tsp salt, stirring to incorporate. Set aside.

3) After the pork has finished broiling, remove pans and evenly divide 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1/2 cup red wine, 2 sprigs thyme and 2 bay leaves between both pans, stirring to incorporate. Return pans to Suvie. Input settings and cook now or schedule.
