Charred cabbage with garlic and herb butter transforms humble wedges of cabbage into charred layers with crispy edges and a tender centre that's flavoured with a garlic and herb butter.
Prepare the cabbage by first cutting the cabbage in half through the main stem. Then taking care to leave the stem intact, cut each half into 3 wedges through the main stem. This will give you 6 wedges.
Take the skillet and place each cabbage wedge into the dry pan over a high heat. Cook the cabbage wedges in batches, turning the wedges to ensure even colour on all sides, this will take about 5 minutes.
Once charred, remove the cabbage from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Turn the heat down to medium add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted add the garlic, thyme and parsley along with a little salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Add the cabbage wedges back into the pan, turning the wedges to ensure all sides are coated in the herb butter. Spoon some extra butter over the top, and place the pan into the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage is tender. Remove from the oven and serve.
Notes
When cutting the cabbage it is really important to retain the stem, as you need the base of the stem to hold the wedge of cabbage together while it cooks. You can use any combination of herbs in the butter.This recipe serves 6 people as a side dish, or 3 as a main dish allowing 2 wedges per serve.
