Charred Hispi Cabbage + Burnt Leek Dressing Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Cabbage

   Cut the hispi cabbage in half lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Char the Cabbage

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the cabbage halves cut side down and grill for about 6-8 minutes, until charred and tender. Flip and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Burn the Leek

   In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped leek and sauté until it becomes dark and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it too much; you want it charred but not bitter.

4. 4

   Make the Dressing

   In a bowl, combine the burnt leek, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the charred cabbage into wedges and drizzle with the burnt leek dressing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
