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.

GRILLED CABBAGE AND CORNED BEEF WEDGE SALAD



Grilled Cabbage and Corned Beef Wedge Salad image

Rethink the traditional wedge salad with this grilled cruciferous version. Thick wedges of grilled cabbage become slightly charred on the outside and crisp-tender on the inside. And the corned beef crisps up, almost like cracklings.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 very thin slices corned beef from the supermarket deli
1/2 head green cabbage (from a 3-pound cabbage), cut into 3 wedges, cores intact
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar, or more to taste
1 medium carrot, shredded (1/2 cup)
1 scallion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
  • Place the corned beef slices on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, 4 to 5 minutes. (The slices will contract like bacon and become dry and crisp.) Let cool slightly and tear into bite-sized pieces. (Leave the grill on.) Reserve.
  • Brush the cabbage wedges generously on all 3 sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, cross-hatching each side, 8 to 10 minutes per side (see Cook's Note). The wedges should have a cooked exterior and a crunchy interior, with dark grill marks and charred edges.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, horseradish, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Reserve.
  • Gently toss together the parsley, cider vinegar, carrot, scallion, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Adjust with more vinegar, oil, salt or pepper as needed.
  • Cut off the core from the cabbages and place the wedges on a platter. Drizzle with about half the buttermilk dressing; serve the rest on the side. Scatter the corned beef cracklings and carrot-parsley salad on top.

GRILLED CABBAGE WITH TAHINI CAESAR DRESSING



Grilled Cabbage with Tahini Caesar Dressing image

These cabbage slices are charred and softened on the grill, then slathered in a vegan Caesar-style dressing. With a hint of nuttiness from tahini and lots of crunch from rustic croutons, the delicious result is a hearty dish somewhere between a wedge and Caesar salad.

Categories     side-dish

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 WITH A CREAMY ONION VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Cabbage Wedges With a Creamy Onion Vinaigrette image

I love cabbage and this is a nice twist for a salad. A sweet onion vinaigrette, bits of sauteed bacon, and warm cabbage that is grilled but but still is a bit crispy. This can either be served as salad or as a vegetable side dish.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 Wedges, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head green cabbage, cut in wedges
4 slices bacon, diced and sauteed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
salt
pepper
1 large sweet onion (I used a Vidalia, but any sweet onion will work)
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground mustard
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Vinaigrette -- Make Ahead. Add the onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard to a blender and puree until smooth. Slowly add in the olive oil and continue to blend until you get a creamy dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to make this ahead and store in a small jar or tupperware container. Then just shake before serving.
  • Bacon -- I also make this ahead to save some time. Simply add the chopped bacon to a small saute pan on medium heat and slowly start to cook the bacon. There should be enough fat in the bacon, so no oil or butter is necessary. Saute until the bacon is crisp. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Set to the side until you are ready to make the cabbage. I like to make mine a day ahead and store in a small ziplock back in the refrigerator.
  • Cabbage -- First, remove any soft or old outside leaves from the head and then cut in wedges. I usually will get 6-8 wedges per head (depends on the size). Melt the butter, I did mine in a small glass in the microwave. Brush the cut sides of the cabbage with the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Grill -- This can be done on a charcoal, gas or even an inside grill. Grill each side approximately 5 minutes. You want a bit of a char, but not too long; you want the cabbage to still be a bit crispy.
  • Serve -- Top each cabbage wedge with the onion vinaigrette and bacon bits. This is absolutely delish! ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Select firm, compact cabbage heads with tightly packed leaves for the best grilling experience.
  • To prevent the cabbage wedges from falling apart during grilling, ensure you cut them with the grain.
  • Use a high-heat cooking method to quickly caramelize the cabbage wedges and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Baste the cabbage wedges frequently with a flavorful marinade or sauce to enhance their taste and prevent them from drying out.
  • Experiment with different seasonings and rubs to create unique flavor profiles that complement the cabbage's natural sweetness.
  • To ensure even cooking, regularly rotate the cabbage wedges on the grill.
  • For added smokiness, consider grilling the cabbage wedges over charcoal or wood chips.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, partially boil the cabbage wedges before grilling them.
  • Serve the grilled cabbage wedges immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.

Conclusion:

Grilled cabbage wedges are a versatile and flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy and balanced meal. With their slightly charred exterior and tender-crisp interior, these wedges offer a unique combination of textures and flavors. Whether you prefer a simple marinade or a more elaborate sauce, the possibilities are endless when it comes to creating delicious grilled cabbage wedges. So, fire up your grill and embrace the delightful flavors of this underappreciated vegetable!
