Place the cottage roll (cottage ham) in a large pot or Dutch oven.
Add 8 cups of water to the pot, ensuring the ham is fully submerged.
Peel and quarter the onion, then add it to the pot along with the garlic cloves, bay leaves, and black peppercorns.
Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 1 hour.
While the ham is cooking, peel and cut the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Chop the celery into similar-sized pieces. Core and quarter the cabbage.
After 1 hour of simmering, add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.
Add the cabbage to the pot in the final 30 minutes of cooking. Simmer until all the vegetables are tender and the ham is fork-tender.
Remove the ham from the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it into thick pieces.
Serve the ham with the vegetables and some broth ladled over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Season with additional ground black pepper to taste and enjoy!
