GRILLED CABBAGE WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut it into 8 wedges (or more if the cabbage is large), leaving the stem intact.
• Place the wedges on a baking sheet. Rub both sides with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Sprinkle on 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on one side of the wedges, then flip them and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt on the other side.
• Place the cabbage directly on the grill grates. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side (10 to 12 minutes total) until softened, turning once.
• In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and onion powder. Drizzle the mixture over the wedges and serve.

GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Trim the stem so the cabbage sits flat on a cutting board. Cut vertically into six 3/4-inch-thick "steaks". Place the steaks on a baking sheet.
• Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture.
• Place the steaks on the grill, oiled-side down; close the lid and grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top and gently flip over; close lid and grill until tender-crisp and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove to a platter and drizzle with any remaining oil mixture.

GRILLED CABBAGE WITH TAHINI CAESAR DRESSING

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.

CABBAGE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.
• Cut off the bottom (root) end of the cabbage and place it on a cutting board sitting up so that the flat end is on the cutting board. Cut top to bottom into 3/4- to 1-inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheet. If you have more slices than fit on your baking sheet without touching, divide them between two baking sheets.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush over one side of the cabbage, then flip the cabbage over and brush the other side. Roast the cabbage for 26 to 28 minutes, or until crispy at the edges and tender in the center. (If you are using one pan, roast it on the center rack; if two, use the the upper and lower-third racks.) Halfway through the baking time, rotate the pan(s) 180 degrees; if you are using two pans, switch their positions on the upper and lower racks at this point too. No need to flip the cabbage over. Don't worry about any extra crispy, dark leaves around the very outsides; they'll taste incredible.
• While the cabbage bakes, toast the pecans in the oven at the same time: spread the pecans onto a small, ungreased baking sheet. Toast them in the oven with the cabbage until fragrant and the center of a pecan is light tan when broken in half, about 8 minutes, tossing them once halfway through. DO NOT WALK AWAY during the last several minutes of baking. Nuts love to burn the second you do. Remove the pecans from the oven and transfer immediately to a cutting board (if you leave them on the hot pan and they are super toasted already, they may burn). Let cool, then roughly chop.
• Sprinkle the roasted cabbage with Parmesan and fresh herbs. Squeeze the lemon over the top, then finish with the chopped pecans. Serve hot.

GRILLED CABBAGE CAESAR

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Combine the garlic, Parmesan, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon, anchovy paste if using, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender carafe with a rubber spatula as necessary. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Transfer the Caesar dressing to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day.
• Cut the cabbage through the core into 8 long wedges (each wedge should be 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick). Make sure to keep the core intact, as this will hold the wedges together as they cook. Brush the cabbage wedges and sliced bread with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil the hot grill grates. Place the cabbage on the grill and cook, covered, until the first side is nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the cabbage, then continue to cook, covered, until crisp-tender and nicely charred all over, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter. Place the bread on the grill and cook uncovered until toasted and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Tear or cut the bread into 1-inch cubes, then sprinkle over the grilled cabbage. Drizzle with most of the Caesar dressing, then top with some shaved Parmesan and more pepper. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS WITH CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups of the cilantro, 1 1/2 cups of the parsley, the garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth. With the blender running, drizzle in the oil in a slow stream to make a very smooth sauce. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with more salt, if needed.
• Remove any loose leaves from the exterior of the cabbage and set it on its stem end. Cut a thin piece off one side of the cabbage to make it flat; then slice a thin piece off the other side of the cabbage. (Reserve the pieces for another use.) Slice the cabbage vertically to make 4 thick steaks, each about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
• Lay the steaks on a baking sheet and stick a skewer horizontally through any that are not holding together. Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with the lime zest, ancho powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Grill the steaks, covered, moving them occasionally so they cook evenly, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, brush the tops lightly with olive oil and remove any skewers you used.
• Coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/2 cup parsley. Drizzle about half of the sauce over the cabbage. Sprinkle with the herbs and red onion and serve the remaining sauce on the side.
