Grilled Cabbage Wedges With A Creamy Onion Vinaigrette Recipes

GRILLED CABBAGE WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut it into 8 wedges (or more if the cabbage is large), leaving the stem intact.
• Place the wedges on a baking sheet. Rub both sides with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Sprinkle on 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on one side of the wedges, then flip them and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt on the other side.
• Place the cabbage directly on the grill grates. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side (10 to 12 minutes total) until softened, turning once.
• In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and onion powder. Drizzle the mixture over the wedges and serve.

CABBAGE WEDGES WITH WARM PANCETTA VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Start the coals or heat a gas grill for medium direct cooking. Make sure the grates are clean.
• Discard any discolored outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it into 8 wedges, then trim the stem a bit but leave enough on to keep the wedges together. Brush the cabbage on all sides with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
• Put the cabbage on the grill directly over the fire, cut side down. Close the lid and cook until the bottom browns, about 5 minutes; turn and cook the other side. Transfer to a platter.
• While the cabbage is grilling, put the pancetta in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it renders its fat and the meat crisps, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar and remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and whisk to combine; taste and add some salt and pepper. (You can make the vinaigrette up to a day ahead; refrigerate and gently reheat it before using.) Pour the hot dressing over the cabbage wedges and serve.
• Variations
• Cabbage Wedges with Warm Bacon-Cumin Vinaigrette: The classic combination: Substitute diced thick-sliced or slab bacon for the pancetta and add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds along with the vinegar.
• Cabbage Wedges with Apple Cider-Caraway Vinaigrette: Lose the meat: For the vinaigrette, whisk together 1/2 cup good-quality olive oil, 3 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, and salt and pepper to taste. No need to heat it up.
• Ketchup and Soy-Glazed Cabbage Wedges: Sweet and salty: Omit the vinaigrette. Instead of olive oil, brush the cabbage with a mixture of 1 tablespoon each good-quality vegetable oil and sesame oil. Combine 2 tablespoons each ketchup and soy sauce and 1 tablespoon each rice vinegar and minced fresh ginger and whisk until combined. Just before taking the cabbage off the grill, brush the glaze on top, close the lid, and cook for a minute; turn and repeat with the other side.

• Place directly on the grill and cook until grill marks are achieved, turning once, 8 to 12 minutes total. Remove from skewers and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or cast-iron grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Cut the green and red cabbage halves into 6 wedges each, about 1 inch thick, leaving the core intact. Add the cabbage wedges to a baking sheet, brush on both sides with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill the cabbage until charred and slightly softened, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer back to the baking sheet and allow to cool slightly.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add the onions to a small heatproof bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the onions. Set aside until ready to use.
• Whisk together the yogurt, lime juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined.
• Shingle the cabbage wedges on a serving platter, alternating between the green and red. Drizzle generously with the chipotle dressing and top with the tomatoes, corn, black beans, pickled onions, Cotija and cilantro.
