Time 1h

Yield Serves 4-6 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 12

200g red Camargue rice (we used red Camargue & wild rice from Waitrose), or use normal brown long-grain
350g firm, round cabbage , shredded
bunch spring onions , thinly sliced
zest and juice 1 large lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil , plus extra to serve (optional)
1 tsp clear honey
1 tbsp tahini paste
100g Greek-style natural yogurt
1 garlic clove , crushed
50g dried cranberries or currants
2 tbsp pine nuts or a handful of walnut pieces
0.5 x 20g pack dill or parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the cabbage and spring onions in a large bowl with the lemon zest, half the lemon juice, 1 tbsp oil and a good pinch of seasoning. Massage it all into the cabbage and set aside.
  • Whisk together the rest of the lemon juice and oil plus the honey, tahini, yogurt and garlic, then loosen with 2 tbsp water. Season to taste.
  • When the rice is tender, drain in a sieve, rinse briefly under the cold tap, then let it drain well. Tip the just-warm rice into the cabbage, adding most of the cranberries, nuts and herbs too. Now pour in most of the tahini dressing and mix. Pile onto a serving plate, then sprinkle with the remaining ingredients and drizzle with the final few spoonfuls of dressing and a slug more oil, if you like.

Grilled Cabbage with Tahini Caesar Dressing image

These cabbage slices are charred and softened on the grill, then slathered in a vegan Caesar-style dressing. With a hint of nuttiness from tahini and lots of crunch from rustic croutons, the delicious result is a hearty dish somewhere between a wedge and Caesar salad.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges with the stem intact (about 2 1/2 pounds)
7 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces rustic white bread, sliced in half lengthwise
1/2 cup tahini
1 tablespoon capers
2 teaspoons tamari
1 teaspoon agave nectar
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
4 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat.
  • Brush the flat sides of the cabbage wedges with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill on one flat side, flipping halfway through to the other flat side, until dark grill marks have formed and the outer layers are softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Brush the bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill the bread sliced-side down until grill marks form and the bread is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, then tear into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, add the tahini, capers, tamari, agave, 2 tablespoons olive oil, half of the lemon zest and juice, 3 tablespoons water and a generous amount of black pepper to a medium bowl. Grate in 3 cloves of the garlic and whisk until well combined.
  • Grate the remaining clove of garlic into a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, red pepper flakes, remaining lemon zest and juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Drizzle the cabbage with the dressing, top with the croutons and parsley mixture and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the red rice: Red rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Make the tahini dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Massage the kale: Massaging the kale with a little olive oil and salt will help to soften it and make it more palatable.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add other toppings to your salad, such as grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or crumbled feta cheese.
