When life gives you cabbage, grill it! Get out the grill-master and follow mystifying series of steps to char and cook the wedges. Perfectly tender, carefully top the cabbage with a lime-herb dressing that provides a tart counterpoint to the sweetness of the cabbage. The resulting dish was more than you will expect: simple, a little unusual, and intensely flavorful.
Grilled Cabbage with Herb Lime Dressing
- 1 Green Cabbage
- 1 Purple Cabbage
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 Cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 7 Sprigs fresh cilantro
- 7 Sprigs fresh parsley
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Cut cabbage into six wedges making sure that the stalk of the cabbage makes it into each slice – this is what will hold you cabbage wedges together on the grill. Use a grilling brush to brush vegetable oil over the cabbage and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Put on the grill for about 4-6 minutes per side or until you have some grill marks and the outside cabbage leaves are soft. Combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, parsley, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt into a food processor and blend until well combined. Pour over grilled cabbage and serve immediately. Enjoy!
