Equipment
- large oven proof frying pan or skillet
- Kitchen knife
- chopping board
- weighing scales
Ingredients
- 1 savoy cabbage (cut into 6 wedges)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 g salted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1 lemon (finely grated zest and juice)
- 2 tablespoon harissa paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180CFan/390F.
- 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 remaining ingredients to the pan, and stir to combine.
- Add the cabbage wedges back into the pan, turning the wedges to ensure all sides are coated in the harissa 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.
This is a versatile recipe, you can use any combination of spices in the butter, or add some fresh herbs if you wish.
You can adjust the chilli heat in this dish, by increasing or decreasing the amount of harissa paste use.
This recipe serves 6 people as a side dish, or 3 as a main dish allowing 2 wedges per serve.
