Preparation

Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Cook onion, speck, celery and carrot for 3 minutes or until tender. Add the cabbage, juniper berries and riesling, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Nestle the ham knuckle into the cabbage mixture. Cover and cook, stirring vegetables occasionally, for 1 hour 20 minutes-1 hour 30 minutes, adding water if needed, until ham is tender and warmed.
Meanwhile, steam potatoes for 30-40 minutes or until cooked.
Place cabbage mixture on a serving plate and top with the ham knuckle. Garnish with potatoes and parsley. Serve.
