Slow cooked smoky ham with tender cabbage and sweet apple, a delicious and comforting German dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • 1.3kg smoked ham hock
  • 750ml (3 cups) Cider
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 savoy cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 red apple, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 85g (1/3 cup) sour cream
  • 35.10 gm wholegrain mustard
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, combine ham, cider, onion, cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Fill the saucepan with cold water until ham is fully covered. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 2 hours, making sure to add more water as needed to keep the ham submerged. Cook until ham is tender and starts falling off the bone. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Place the ham on a plate. Remove and discard the skin and bone. Shred the ham coarsely. Strain the cooking liquid, saving 1L (4 cups). In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the reserved liquid to a boil. Let it simmer for 15 minutes until it reduces by half.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté sliced onion for 10 minutes until soft. Add cabbage, apple, sage, and caraway seeds. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until cabbage wilts and apple is tender.
  • Mix together the sour cream and mustard in a bowl. Divide the cabbage mixture into bowls, then top with ham. Drizzle the cooking liquid over the top and serve with the sour cream mixture on the side.
