This easy recipe for Roasted Hispi Cabbage with Garlic Tahini Sauce transforms the fresh vegetable into a vibrant, versatile dish that you can enjoy in countless delightful ways. Hispi cabbage, often referred to as sweetheart or hearted cabbage, boasts a charming conical shape that makes it a standout. Grilling elevates this delightful vegetable, intensifying its sweet flavor. The outside develops a beautifully blistered, charred exterior while the inner layers steam to tender perfection.
While it’s fantastic with just a simple sprinkle of salt, I take it up a notch with a creamy, garlicky tahini sauce that elevates this already crave-worthy side. My husband is not usually a huge cabbage person, but when he tried the charred hispi cabbage smothered in the tahini garlic sauce, he became a total convert. It’s truly irresistible!
To make the Roasted Hispi Cabbage with Garlic Tahini Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons tahini, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, lemon zest and juice, and a good pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in three tablespoons of warm water until the dressing becomes pourable and creamy. If needed, add another spoonful of water. Check for seasoning and set aside.
Cut each cabbage through the core into 4 wedges, leaving the base intact so the pieces hold together. Rub the wedges with a little olive oil and season with salt to taste.
Heat a grill pan over high heat. Once it's hot, add the cabbage wedges and grill them for 4 to 5 minutes on each cut side. Then, carefully turn the wedges onto their curved side and grill until they are soft and charred, while still retaining a bit of crunch.
Transfer the grilled cabbage wedges to a serving dish. Drizzle with the prepared tahini dressing. Garnish with mint, chilies, and nigella seeds. Pour any remaining dressing into a small bowl and serve on the side.
