Servings
Ingredients
1 Cabbage, fresh, leaf, medium , green, about 3 pounds
6 fresh green onions , root ends cut off (equal to 1 bunch)
1 tbsp fresh thyme , finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
0.25 tsp black pepper
1.5 tsp salt
3 lb top loin pork roast , trimmed (boneless)
1 Bouillon, chicken, sodium free, instant packet (dissolved in 2 cups hot water)
8 potatoes, fresh, medium (red)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp caraway seeds , crushed
16 oz fresh cherry tomatoes , equal to 1 pint
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp cold water


Directions
1 Remove outer leaves from cabbage, about 6 layers, trim tough ribs. Save remaining cabbage.
2 In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil over high heat, add cabbage leaves and cook until slightly softened and easier to work with (push under water with tongs), about 3-5 minutes.
3 Remove cabbage from pot with a slotted spoon (do not get rid of water) and place in a strainer to drain.
4 Add onions to water until just wilted, about 10 seconds, drain and pat dry with paper towel.
5 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
6 In a small bowl or cup, mix the thyme, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Rub evenly over pork roast.
7 Wrap pork in cabbage leaves and secure in place with green onions (you will probably have to tie 2 green onion leaves together so it is long enough to fit around entire roast).
8 Place pork in a 14 x 10 inch roasting pan; pour bouillon dissolved in hot water into pan.
9 Insert meat thermometer in center and roast until temperature reads about 155 degrees F, about 1 hour. Baste pork occasionally with juices from pan.
10 In the meantime, place potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover and boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and carefully cut into 1/2 inch cubes (they will be hot).
11 Coarsely slice remaining cabbage.
12 In a large pot, heat oil over medium high heat; add cabbage, caraway seeds, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, sauté until tender crisp. Add potatoes and heat thoroughly. Place onto a large serving plate and keep warm.
13 In the same pot, warm the cherry tomatoes over medium high heat until thoroughly heated; set aside.
14 When pork is done, remove from oven and place on platter with cabbage.
15 In a small cup, mix the water and cornstarch then add into the drippings of the roasting pan. Pour into a small pot and bring to a boil, continue boiling for 1 minute, skimming any visible fat. Spoon over pork and serve with tomatoes.
