Method
Pork Shank Preparation
Braise the Shank
Add the Madeira wine, chicken stock, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the pork shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise for about 2 hours until tender.
Candied Sweet Potatoes Preparation
Cook Sweet Potatoes
In a medium pot, combine cubed sweet potatoes, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Candy the Sweet Potatoes
In the same pot, add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the cooked sweet potatoes. Stir gently to coat and cook over low heat until the sugar is melted and the potatoes are glazed.
Simmered Cabbage Preparation
Sauté Cabbage
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and shredded cabbage, sautéing until the cabbage is wilted.
Simmer
Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir and cover, cooking for about 20 minutes until tender.
