Charred cabbage with lemon and parsley

Name: Charred cabbage with lemon and parsley
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Ingredients: 1¾ lb Cabbage; 1½ fl oz Olive oil; 1¼ oz Anchovy fillets; ¾ oz Garlic; 1¼ oz Parmesan cheese; 1½ tbsp Lemon juice; 0 oz Red chili flakes; Fresh parsley, a small handful; Sea salt, to taste; Black pepper, to taste

A cabbage seared on the cut face picks up char like a steak, and the layers separate into petals that crisp at the rim while staying tender at the core. The anchovy melts into the oil so it never reads as fish — it reads as deep, savory, almost meaty.

Method

5 steps · 25 minutes

Cut the cabbage into 4 thick steaks through the core so the leaves hold.
Mash the garlic and anchovies into a paste, then stir in the olive oil, lemon juice and chili flakes.
Heat a single-handle cast iron skillet over high for 2 minutes. Brush the cabbage steaks with the anchovy oil and lay them cut-side down. Sear 4 minutes without moving until deeply charred.
Flip and cook the other cut side 3 minutes. Lift onto plates.
Shave the parmesan over the top with a vegetable peeler, scatter parsley, and finish with a grind of black pepper.
