Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smothered Cabbage with Ground Pork.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these vibrant veggies for about five minutes, letting them soften and turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 4
Next, introduce the ground pork to the pot along with a sprinkle of Creole seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Cook this mixture for about five to seven minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is beautifully browned and fragrant.
Step 6
Don’t worry about draining the fat; it adds flavor! Now, gently layer the cabbage over the savory pork mixture, and then pour the diced tomatoes right on top.
Step 7
Cover the pot with a lid and lower the heat to medium.
Step 8
Let the cabbage steam and wilt for 15 to 20 minutes without stirring—this allows all those delicious flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Once the cabbage has softened, give everything a good stir and taste your creation.
Step 10
Adjust the seasoning if needed, and get ready to enjoy a hearty, comforting dish that’s sure to warm your soul!.
