Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
  • 3 pounds boneless pork butt roast pulled apart at seams, trimmed, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/4 pounds smoked ham hocks rinsed
  • 5 cups water
  • 4 cups chicken broth plus extra as needed
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 4 carrots peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 12 ounces kielbasa sausage halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1/2 head savoy cabbage cored and shredded (8 cups)
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Instructions
 

Prepare the base:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with the rack in the lower-middle position.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Sauté the onion, salt, and pepper until softened and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add garlic and herbes de Provence, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Cook the pork and broth:

  • Stir in pork, ham hocks, water, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and transfer the pot to the oven. Cook until the pork is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Add vegetables and shred ham:

  • Remove the pot from the oven. Transfer ham hocks to a cutting board, letting them cool slightly. Shred the meat from the hocks into bite-sized pieces, discarding skin, fat, and bones.
  • Stir potatoes and carrots into the stew. Return the covered pot to the oven and cook until vegetables are almost tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Finish the stew:

  • Stir in shredded ham, kielbasa, and cabbage. Return the pot to the oven and cook until the cabbage is wilted and tender, and the kielbasa is heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Adjust the stew's consistency with extra hot broth if needed. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
