roasted cabbage wedges with lemon garlic butter
INGREDIENTS
For the Roasted Cabbage
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sprinkle of salt and pepper
For the Lemon Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- sprinkle of salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Roasting the Cabbage
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a large cookie sheet with foil.
- Take off the outer leaves from the green cabbage. Using a large knife, cut the cabbage in 8 pieces by cutting it in half, then in quarters, etc. Leave the stem and core on, as it helps the cabbage hold its shape.
- Place the cabbage on the foil-lined cookie sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then carefully turn with a flipper and roast for another 20 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges and fork tender. Use your own judgement for cooking time, as each cabbage is a different size, and ovens set at 400 F will cook at different temperatures unless it�s been calibrated.
- Making the Lemon Garlic Brown Butter
- While the cabbage is roasting, mince the four cloves of garlic.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
- Add in the garlic. Constantly stir with a wooden spoon until the butter and garlic turns a golden brown.
- Remove from the heat and pour the browned butter and garlic into a small bowl.
- Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir again and adjust seasonings to taste.
- When the roasted cabbage is ready to serve, brush the lemon garlic butter onto each cabbage wedge.
- Cut off the core that extends past the arch for a pretty presentation.
- Serve warm with a bowl of Dublin coddle and boxty bread.
