Welcome back to my cabbage series where we take one of the most underrated vegetables in your kitchen and turn it into something deeply satisfying. #3
This recipe layers smoky charred cabbage with a savory miso butter glaze and finishes with a cool, tangy yogurt sauce topped with honey, chili oil, and fresh dill.
It is bold, balanced, and packed with fiber while still feeling indulgent.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
• 1 large head green cabbage cut into 8 wedges
• 4 tablespoons light butter, room temperature
• 1 sachet traditional MisoEasy miso paste
• 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
• 1 to 2 teaspoons chili crunch or chili crisp
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
Yogurt Plate
• 2/3 cup fat free Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tablespoon honey, for drizzle
• Chili oil, for drizzle
• Fresh dill, chopped
PREPARATION
-
Prep the cabbage
Remove any damaged outer leaves. Slice the cabbage into 8 wedges, 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, MisoEasy 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. -
Roast the cabbage
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 the fat free Greek yogurt onto a serving plate. Drizzle with honey and chili oil. -
Plate and garnish
Place two roasted cabbage wedges per serving over the yogurt and finish with fresh dill.
Serve immediately.
Serves 4. Each serving includes 2 cabbage wedges.
