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.

PERFECT SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Thinly the cabbage and measure out 10 cups.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the cabbage, garlic powder, kosher salt, and plenty of black pepper. Saute 8 to 10 minutes until wilted and tender.
• When it's done, squeeze in the juice from 2 lemon wedges. Taste and adjust flavors as necessary.

GRILLED CRUNCHY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a grill. Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet, and drizzle with the vegetable oil on both sides. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper, and then toss to coat. Grill the cabbage for 4 minutes each side, or 8 minutes total, turning once or until the edges begin to wilt, but the bulk of the cabbage remains crunchy. Remove the cabbage from the grill and allow to cool a few minutes. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette in a medium bowl by whisking the orange zest, Dijon mustard, and orange juice with the olive oil until it emulsifies. Add salt, and pepper, to taste. Chop the grilled cabbage, removing the core, and place in the bowl with the dressing. Add the parsley and green onion and toss to coat.

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.

GRILLED CABBAGE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Cut the knot from the bottom of the cabbage and remove the core.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon drippings. Chop bacon into small pieces. Mix onion, bacon, and barbeque sauce together in a bowl.
• Fill the hole in the cabbage with onion-bacon mixture and place pieces of butter into the core to fill completely. Drape 2 bacon strips over filling and hold in place with toothpicks.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Make a ring out of aluminum foil and place on grill.
• Place cabbage on the foil ring and cook, basting with bacon drippings, until a fork can easily puncture the cabbage, 15 to 30 minutes.

GRILLED NAPA CABBAGE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a high (500°F to 600°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Trim the cabbage of damaged outer leaves. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, being careful to keep a bit of the core in each piece to hold the wedge of leaves together.
• For ease of handling, and to make sure the leaves don't fall between the grill grates, skewer each cabbage wedge onto a grill-proof metal skewer or wooden skewers which have been soaked for 30 minutes in water. Brush the cabbage wedges lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt.
• With the cover opened, grill the cabbage until the edges are blackened and crispy, and the center wedges are warm, turning frequently to char on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. For more tender cabbage, cover the grill while cooking. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

GRILLED CABBAGE WEDGES WITH A CREAMY ONION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Vinaigrette -- Make Ahead. Add the onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard to a blender and puree until smooth. Slowly add in the olive oil and continue to blend until you get a creamy dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to make this ahead and store in a small jar or tupperware container. Then just shake before serving.
• Bacon -- I also make this ahead to save some time. Simply add the chopped bacon to a small saute pan on medium heat and slowly start to cook the bacon. There should be enough fat in the bacon, so no oil or butter is necessary. Saute until the bacon is crisp. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Set to the side until you are ready to make the cabbage. I like to make mine a day ahead and store in a small ziplock back in the refrigerator.
• Cabbage -- First, remove any soft or old outside leaves from the head and then cut in wedges. I usually will get 6-8 wedges per head (depends on the size). Melt the butter, I did mine in a small glass in the microwave. Brush the cut sides of the cabbage with the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper.
• Grill -- This can be done on a charcoal, gas or even an inside grill. Grill each side approximately 5 minutes. You want a bit of a char, but not too long; you want the cabbage to still be a bit crispy.
• Serve -- Top each cabbage wedge with the onion vinaigrette and bacon bits. This is absolutely delish! ENJOY!
