JUICY TENDER (CABBAGE WRAPPED) PORK ROAST
This is the most TENDER, JUICIEST pork roast I've ever tasted. It doesn't get any better than this! (The cabbage is removed at the end and can be eaten or discarded. It just protects the roast and makes it VERY tender!But you can chop it and even eat that too!)

Steps:
- Remove 6-8 outer leaves of cabbage.

- In dutch oven or pot, bring 3 qts. water to a boil. Cook cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3-5 minutes til pliable.

- In very small bowl, mix thyme, pepper and 1 teaspoons salt. Rub roast with thyme mixture.

- Roast 1 hour, basting 2-3 times with bouillon juices.
- Remove and let set at least 10 minutes. Remove cabbage and green onions. Discard or coarsely chop and serve with roast.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500˚. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage all over with the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub the pork with salt, pepper and the coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, 8 minutes (reduce the heat if the pork is getting too dark). Transfer the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage; reserve the skillet. Roast the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145˚, 13 to 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Continue roasting the cabbage until browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until toasted, 30 seconds. Stir in the vinegar and sugar, then pour in 1/3 cup water, scraping up the bottom of the skillet. Cook until a thin sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the pork and divide among plates along with the cabbage. Spoon the bell pepper mixture over the pork; top with the parsley.
