Charred Savoy cabbage & tahini

Charred Savoy cabbage & tahini

Cabbage can have a slightly bitter edge, but introducing it to the searing heat of a griddle pan for a few minutes brings out its deliciously sweet side.

Ingredients

  • 1 Savoy cabbage
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
  • ¼ x 25g pack mint, leaves torn
  • 1 tsp nigella seeds

Tahini Sauce

  • 4 tbsp tahini
  • 1 lemon, juice
  • 2 clove/s garlic, crushed
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 1 pinch cayenne
  • ¼ tsp fine salt

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the tahini sauce with 75ml water. It should have the consistency of double cream; add a splash more water if necessary. Season – the flavour should be bright, but not sharp.

  2. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges through the core to keep the leaves together. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Heat a ridged griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Add the cabbage wedges and cook for 5-6 minutes on each cut side, until charred and starting to soften. Turn onto the rounded side and cook for 4 minutes more, adding a splash of water to the pan, if needed, to steam them until tender.

  3. Put ½ the tahini sauce on a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange the cabbage wedges on top, sprinkle with ½ the chilli and mint, then drizzle more tahini over the top. Scatter with the remaining chilli and mint, and finish with the nigella seeds.
