Think you don't like cabbage? This charred green cabbage side dish is bound to make you a cabbage convert before you know it.

When roasted slowly in the oven, cabbage becomes charred on the outside and soft and silky on the inside, making for a delicious mix of textures and crunch. The bed of creamy garlic soy tahini yogurt packs a flavour punch and makes this veggie dish extra satisfying.

This recipe goes great alongside roast lamb or chicken, or simply served with a refreshing green salad to cut through the creamy tahini yogurt dressing.

Simple, nutritious and looks great on your dining table!

  4. Roast for 1 hour
