Description

This simple recipe is a great go-to side dish. Savory, full of charred umami flavor, and totally versatile. Serve with pork chops, corned beef, burgers, tofu and more.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small red or green cabbage
  • 23 tablespoons avocado oil or high heat oil
  • Kosher salt or flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cut cabbage in half, top to bottom. Then lay cut-side down and slice crosswise into ½- to ¾-inch planks.
  3. Decrease heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and swirl to coat, place about 4 cabbage planks in an even layer in skillet. Cook, without moving, until charred on the first side, about 5 minutes; season with salt, flip and continue to cook until charred on second side, 5 more minutes.
  4. Transfer to a platter or shallow bowl and repeat process with remaining oil and cabbage.
  5. Season with salt to taste. Optional, season with pepper to taste. 


Notes

It’s important to use a high-heat cooking oil here. I recommend avocado oil, though safflower, soybean or sunflower oil will also work.
