Who knew that a simple cabbage could steal the spotlight? With just a touch of heat, a sprinkle of seasoning, and a hint of citrus, this dish transforms into something truly irresistible. Cabbage Karma, a bold and aromatic spice blend, brings out the natural sweetness of pointed cabbage while adding a deep, savory kick. Whether roasted until tender with golden edges or pan-seared to a perfect char, this dish proves that cabbage can be anything but boring.

Crispy, caramelized, and bursting with umami, this versatile dish works beautifully as a side or a light main course. Finished with freshly grated parmesan and a squeeze of lemon, it delivers the perfect mix of richness, freshness, and a touch of zest.

2 small pointed cabbages
1½ tbsp Cabbage Karma
Olive oil (or melted butter)
1 lemon – zest and juice
30-40 g parmesan, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Oven Method:
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbages, rinse them well, and shake off excess water. Cut the cabbages in half and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cut side up.

Drizzle with olive oil (or melted butter) and sprinkle with Cabbage Karma and salt. Roast at 175°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, depending on how crisp or tender you prefer them.

Transfer to a serving dish and top with grated parmesan and lemon zest. Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside, allowing everyone to adjust acidity and seasoning to their taste.

Pan-Seared Method:
Heat a regular pan or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Add a generous amount of butter and place the cabbage halves cut-side down. Sear for about 4-6 minutes until golden and slightly caramelized, then briefly sear the other side. Be careful not to burn the butter.

Serve as above, with parmesan, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper.

Enjoy!
