For an even richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hock in addition to the pork shoulder. Adjust the amount of salt according to the saltiness of your smoked pork shoulder. Don't overcook the cabbage, as it can become mushy. It should still have a slight bite. Serve with a dollop of Irish butter or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Place the smoked pork shoulder in a large stockpot and cover completely with water. Season generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
30 mins
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 30 minutes to allow the pork to begin to tenderize. (30 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Add the peeled potatoes, quartered cabbage, quartered onions, and halved carrots to the pot. Ensure the vegetables are mostly submerged in the liquid. (10 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Tie the trimmed green beans into a bundle using kitchen twine to keep them together during cooking. Add the bundle to the pot. (5 minutes)
05
Step
25 mins
Re-cover the pot and continue to simmer until the carrots and potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 25 minutes. Check the pork shoulder for tenderness as well; it should be easily pierced with a fork. (25 minutes)
