Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core from each quarter. Each quarter should be about 2 inches thick.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Season the Cabbage

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture generously onto the cut sides of the cabbage quarters.

  2. 5

    Grill the Cabbage

    Place the cabbage quarters cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until charred and tender. Rotate the quarters halfway through cooking for even charring.

  3. 6

    Add Lemon

    Once the cabbage is charred, squeeze the juice of the lemon over the cabbage quarters for added flavor.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Remove the cabbage from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm as a side dish.
