1
Prepare the Cabbage
Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Brush each quarter with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
2
Grill the Cabbage
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the cabbage quarters on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until charred and tender.
3
Toast the Egusi Seeds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the egusi seeds until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
4
Prepare the Parsley Chili Oil
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chopped parsley, and red chili flakes. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
5
Season the Cabbage
Once the cabbage is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the parsley chili oil over the cabbage and sprinkle with toasted egusi and negro pepper.
6
Serve
Serve the grilled cabbage warm, garnished with extra parsley and egusi if desired.
