Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
In a small bowl, mix: 300 ml olive oil, the zest of 6 lemons, salt and pepper.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Grate 150 ml Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano).

Pluck off the tarragon leaves and discard the stalks.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - 4 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Remove the cabbage's outer leaves and its tough stalk.

Note : I am using a pointed cabbage (hispi or sugarloaf type) here. I recommend them as ideally suited to this recipe.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Cut into thick slices and cut the top point in half lengthways.

Stage 5 - 4 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Cut out the hard centre stalk from each slice, then arrange on a baking sheet lined with a sheet of cooking parchment.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).

Use a brush to coat the cabbage slices all over with lemon-flavoured oil.

Stage 7
Roast cabbage with lemon
When you have brushed all the cabbage, there should be about 2 tablespoonsful of oil left over.

salt and pepper each cabbage slice.

Stage 8 - 25 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes. The cabbage should be nicely browned, the edges almost burnt.

Stage 9 - 2 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Add the juice of 1 lemon to the remaining oil and mix well.

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Roast cabbage with lemon
Transfer the cabbage slices onto the plates and brush again with the lemon-flavoured oil.

Top with the chopped tarragon leaves and grated Parmesan.

Serve immediately.
Remarks
As always with Yotam Ottolenghi, this very simple, but every detail counts. You will notice how the cheese isn't browned, only added on top of the cabbage as it comes out of the oven, along with the tarragon – just perfect!

If you are using a normal-sized cabbage, cut the slices in half or they will be too big to cook right through properly.
Keeping
Should be eaten immediately.
