Almond Smoked Paprika Butter

Method

Cabbage Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Remove any damaged leaves from the January King cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and core it. Sprinkle salt over the cut sides and let it sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cabbage

    In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Place the cabbage quarters cut side down and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Turn and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.

Almond Smoked Paprika Butter Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and smoked paprika, stirring until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in finely chopped almonds.

Cardamom and Cilantro Schug Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Schug

    In a food processor, combine chopped cilantro, green chilies, cardamom seeds, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse until a smooth paste forms. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Serve

    Place the cooked cabbage on a serving platter. Drizzle the almond smoked paprika butter over the cabbage, followed by a generous spoonful of the cardamom and cilantro schug. Enjoy!
