Red Cabbage and Pork Pot

• 1 large red cabbage, cored and shredded
• 2 pounds Pork Ribs, country
• 8 cloves Garlic, whole
• 2 tbsp Pecan oil
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 1 Tomato, diced
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 5 Bay leaves
• 1 tbsp Cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Blanch the cabbage in boiling water for about 1 minute. Remove and reserve. Insert 2 whole cloves into each of the ribs. Place the pecan oil in a heavy pot over medium heat; brown the ribs, about 6 minutes per side. Remove ribs to a plate. Reduce heat to low; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Return ribs to the pot. Add reserved cabbage, tomato, apple, celery, bay leaves, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook the mixture, partially covered, over medium heat for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, making sure the meat does not stick to the bottom of the pot and the cabbage covers the meat. Remove bones and serve immediately.
