Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 3 pounds bone-in pork roast
• 1 small head cabbage, coarsely chopped
• 8 black peppercorns
• ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place cabbage and olive oil in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Spread coated cabbage in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and top with peppercorns. Add water just to cover.

Step 3

In a large shallow dish or bowl combine the garlic powder, pepper, salt, parsley and Cajun spice. Mix together. Roll pork in spice mixture and place on top of cabbage. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until almost done; when done, internal temperature of pork reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Stir tomato paste into cabbage mixture and bake another 15 to 20 minutes. (Note: Baking time will vary depending on size of roast.)
