This Pork and Cabbage Stew is something I actually posted a few years ago, but I haven't made sense so I'm considering this a recipe redo.

I've only made a few small changes to the original recipe. I increased the amount of pork. I added some chopped celery.

I decreased the amount of cabbage I used (with the increase of meat, I didn't have room for all the cabbage), and I changed out the type of oil I used to brown the meat.

I also modified the technique of putting it all together to make it a tad faster and easier...Other than that it's basically still the same, and the taste is just good, if not better than I remember!
