Preparation
The day before, boil the potatoes for the dumplings in their skins until soft. Leave to cool. For the red cabbage, combine the cabbage, apple, half the onion, the spices, bay leaves, sugar, salt, pepper and wine and leave to marinate overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 180Β°C. Rub the skin of the pork hocks with generous amounts of salt, garlic and oil. Sprinkle with the caraway seeds. Place in a baking dish with 2 cm of water and roast for 2 hours.

To make the potato dumplings, peel the cooked potatoes and mash them. Incorporate with the flour, egg, chives, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Roll into a long sausage and cut into pieces about the size of golf balls. Roll into balls.

To cook the red cabbage, fry the remaining onion and bacon in the butter. Add a splash of red wine, then add the marinated cabbage mixture. Cover and braise for 20 minutes over low heat until soft. Season to taste.

Cook the dumplings in salted boiling water until they float (around 2 minutes) then drain.
Arrange the roast pork with the dumplings and red cabbage on a serving plate and carve at the table.
