2094. Miso Butter Charred Cabbage

Smoky, savoury, and rich with umami - this simple side dish turns humble cabbage into something genuinely special. Charred cabbage is basted in golden miso butter, finished with fresh lime, and brought to life with smoked sea salt. A flavor bomb of smoke, tang, and depth. This is a perfect side dish, or a veggie alternative for a roast.

Ingredients:

1 small cabbage

olive oil

80g butter, soft

1 Tbsp miso paste

1/2 lime, plus extra

smoked sea salt

Method:

Slice 1 whole cabbage in quarters, keeping the core intact so the leaves will not fall apart. Heat some olive oil in a pan. Fry cut-side down over high heat for 4-5 mins until deeply browned and charred. Transfer to a 400F oven and roast for 25-30 mins until tender.

Meanwhile, make the miso butter: mix softened unsalted butter with miso paste, the juice and zest of ½ lime, and a generous pinch of smoked sea salt.

Return the cooked cabbage to the pan, add a large spoonful of miso butter, and baste until glossy and caramelised. Finish with extra miso butter, lime juice, lime zest, and another pinch of smoked sea salt.
