INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

1 large head green cabbage or hispi cabbage
4 tablespoons light butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 to 2 teaspoons chili crunch or chili crisp
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Yogurt Plate

1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon honey
Chili oil for drizzle
Fresh dill, chopped

Optional fiber boost
1 cup sliced mushrooms or cauliflower added to the pan


 PREPARATION

Prep the cabbage. Remove any damaged outer leaves. Slice cabbage into quarters, keeping the core intact so each wedge holds together.

Char the cabbage. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add olive oil. Place cabbage wedges cut side down and allow them to sear without moving for about 5 to 7 minutes until deeply charred and caramelized. Color equals flavor.

Prepare the miso butter. In a bowl mix the softened butter, miso paste, grated garlic, and chili crunch until smooth and well combined.

Coat and roast. Spread the miso butter generously over the cabbage wedges, allowing it to melt into the layers.

Transfer the skillet or cabbage to a 350°F oven and roast for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cabbage is tender and buttery throughout. Flip halfway through cooking. For extra caramelization, finish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.

Prepare the yogurt base. Spread fat free Greek yogurt onto a serving plate. Drizzle lightly with honey and chili oil.

Plate. Place the roasted cabbage over the yogurt and finish with fresh dill.

Serve and enjoy!
