Preparation Wash the pieces of pork meat well in warm water and rinse them well in cold water. Boil them in a pot together with the vegetables controlling that the water covers the meat entirely.

Cook the whole lot until the water has been used up completely. Cut the Savoy cabbages finely into strips and 10 minutes before cooking has terminated add them to the pot together with the rind, the sausage and the chops.

You can then add a glass of dry white wine to give the dish more flavour and to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Taste it and add salt and pepper according to your taste. This dish should be dry and amalgamated. So mix the meat and the cabbage well.

This very tasty exquisite dish can be served with a very robust red wine and should be served nice and hot.
