Loathing and Loving

What is green, crunchy and used to make my husband make wrenching noises on sight? Cabbage. And, one day last spring I opened my bin from my produce share and found four heads of cabbage. Big, huge heads of cabbage. Knowing that I would be feeding my husband cabbage every day for the next 10 days left me with some dread (of the eye rolls).

Then I made baked cabbage. My husband loved it. It took three ingredients. I made it when my cousin came to dinner – and he liked it. When his wife asked for the recipe, I felt a bit like a rock star (don’t judge my life).

Diana’s Cabbage Wedges:

Preheat the oven to 450. Peel off any all yucky cabbages leaves. Cut the head into large wedges. Place on a cookie sheet. Pour about a teaspoon of melted butter (or you can use ghee) over each wedge. Sprinkle each wedge with a bit of sea salt.

Bake for 20-30 minutes. The edges will be caramelized.

Go eat some veggies.

  1. That's it?! I love the simplicity and knowing that I have more than one recipe now (boiling) for my cabbage. Much thanks, Rock Star.

    Love!
