Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large garlic clove -- coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 small anchovy fillets -- approx 2 tablespoons
1 whole egg
1 whole egg yolk
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1/2 head cabbage -- green (, purple or both)
Avocado oil or olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup croutons (, of choice -- crushed into coarse pieces)

Steps:

  • Mix garlic in lemon juice, set aside. Place anchovies, egg, egg yolk, parmesan, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a food processor and blend until anchovy is chopped fine. Add lemon juice and garlic; blend until incorporated.
  • While the processor running, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified and incorporated. Taste and add salt as needed. Chill in the refrigerator while grilling the cabbage.
  • Slice cabbage head into 6 thin wedges, retaining part of the core with each wedge so the cabbage holds together better on the grill. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a grill on high to 400°F.
  • Place cabbage wedges on the hot grill and close the lid. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until charred in spots and outer leaves are softened with center still slightly firm. Remove from heat, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with crushed croutons.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges with the stem intact (about 2 1/2 pounds)
7 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces rustic white bread, sliced in half lengthwise
1/2 cup tahini
1 tablespoon capers
2 teaspoons tamari
1 teaspoon agave nectar
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
4 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat.
  • Brush the flat sides of the cabbage wedges with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill on one flat side, flipping halfway through to the other flat side, until dark grill marks have formed and the outer layers are softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Brush the bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill the bread sliced-side down until grill marks form and the bread is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, then tear into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, add the tahini, capers, tamari, agave, 2 tablespoons olive oil, half of the lemon zest and juice, 3 tablespoons water and a generous amount of black pepper to a medium bowl. Grate in 3 cloves of the garlic and whisk until well combined.
  • Grate the remaining clove of garlic into a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, red pepper flakes, remaining lemon zest and juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Drizzle the cabbage with the dressing, top with the croutons and parsley mixture and serve immediately.

GRILLED CABBAGE WEDGES



Grilled Cabbage Wedges image

Cabbage wedges with chargrilled marks can be used as a side dish or incorporated into other dishes. I use this along my grilled teriyaki chicken kabobs, serving it all over basmati rice. The semi-carbon taste of the chargrilled marks enhance the flavor. Don't be afraid of a little brown/black color of charring it. It's good! Trust me.
