cabbage winter recipes side dishes

Seared cabbage wedges marinated with garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasted until deeply flavorful.

Ingredients

  • 1 green cabbage
  • 2 big cloves peeled garlic
  • The same amount of ginger as garlic
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Coconut oil
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, finely cut peanuts, black sesame seeds
  • Optional serving ideas: rice, fresh young sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, peanut sauce, or tahini sauce

Process

  1. 1 Make the marinade by grating the garlic and peeled ginger into a small bowl.
  2. 2 Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, then let it sit while you prepare the cabbage.
  3. 3 Cut the cabbage from the core lengthwise into 4, 6, or 8 pieces, depending on size and thickness.
  4. 4 If you can, cut out a big part of the core, but keep a bit so the leaves stay together.
  5. 5 Melt coconut oil in a big frying pan and fry the cabbage on high heat until both sides are crispy brown.
  6. 6 While frying, place a lid on the pan so the cabbage can steam too.
  7. 7 Place the cabbage in an oven tray and divide the marinade over the slices with a spoon or brush.
  8. 8 Use all the garlic and ginger from the bowl.
  9. 9 Let the cabbage sit in the marinade from 1 to 6 hours if you can, but not longer than a day.
  10. 10 Roast at 185C for about 20 to 30 minutes.
  11. 11 Add toppings like chopped cilantro, peanuts, or black sesame seeds if you like.
  12. 12 Serve with rice, sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, and maybe a peanut or tahini sauce.
