Deeply Roasted Cabbage with Peanut Crunch
Wedges of cabbage are roasted low then finished at high heat, brightened with tamarind and topped with a sticky Medjool date–peanut-sesame crunch featuring mustard seeds and green chiles.
Humble green cabbage wedges are roasted to charred perfection and made dinner party-worthy with a drizzle of tamarind and a crunchy, Indian-inspired peanut-sesame topping. Roasting cabbage at a relatively low temperature followed by a shorter burst of high heat allows even the toughest parts of the cabbage to turn melt-in-your-mouth tender while delivering deeply browned, crisp outer leaves and gloriously charred bits. Finishing with tamarind awakens the cabbage with a sweet-sour acidity, and the peanut crunch featuring sticky Medjool dates, mustard seeds and green chiles rounds out every bite with its blend of sweet, salty and spicy.
