Description
Deeply fragrant, with smoky, charred edges, cabbage takes on a nutty, sweet flavor when grilled over blazing-hot coals, and a great texture that's simultaneously tender and crisp. Its layered structure also makes it the ideal vessel for picking up both smoke flavor from the grill and whatever sauce you choose to serve it with. In this case, we're going with a rich blue cheese dressing, tomatoes, and—if you want them—bacon bits.
Much like Brussels sprouts when roasted, plain old cabbage—a less trendy member of the brassica family—becomes fabulously sweet and nutty when grilled. Here's how to do it. [Video: Vicky Wasik. Technique: J. Kenji López-Alt]
