Ingredients

red cabbage
0.5
olive oil
1 tbsp
pomegranate molasses
2 tbsp
pomegranate seeds
50 g
salt and pepper
1 pinch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6). Prepare the cabbage by cutting it into four thick wedges, ensuring the core remains intact to hold the leaves together during roasting.

Place the cabbage wedges on a large baking tray. Rub the olive oil thoroughly over the surface of each wedge and season generously with salt and black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes.

Remove the tray from the oven and drizzle the pomegranate molasses over the cabbage. Return to the oven for a final 8–10 minutes until the molasses has thickened and caramelized beautifully.

Transfer the roasted wedges to a serving plate and scatter with fresh pomegranate seeds before serving warm.

Chef's Tips

If you cannot find pomegranate molasses, a mixture of balsamic glaze and a teaspoon of honey makes a great substitute. For added texture, consider topping the dish with toasted walnuts or crumbled feta cheese.
