Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 whole medium sized drumhead or savoy white cabbage 

  • 3 cups boiling water from the kettle 

  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil 

  • 12 coriander sprigs to serve, stored in iced water 

Peanut & Chilli Relish

  • 2 green spring onions, finely sliced 

  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped 

  • pinch white pepper 

  • 1 clove garlic, grated 

  • 1 tbs dried chilli flakes 

  • ½ cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil 

  • 2 tbs gluten free soy sauce 

  • 2 tbs rice wine vinegar 

  • 1 tsp Coles Asia sesame oil 

  • 1 tbs maple syrup 

  • ¼ cup Coles roasted peanuts, chopped, plus extra to serve 

Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore

Method

  • Cut the cabbage into 6 or 8 wedges, leaving the core intact to hold the wedges together. Place the cabbage wedges into a tray, cover with boiling water then a sheet of aluminium foil and set aside for 5 minutes to slightly steam through. Drain well.

  • Heat a BBQ grill to a medium/high heat. Drizzle the cabbage with a little extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Cook on the grill for 5 - 6 minutes each side, or until charred on the outside and tender in the middle. 

  • To make the relish, heat the oil in a small pot until nearly smoking. Place the spring onion, ginger, pepper, garlic and dried chilli into a heat-proof bowl. Carefully pour over the oil to scald the ingredients. Once it has stopped bubbling stir in the soy, vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup and peanuts. 

  • Place the cabbage onto a serving platter and spoon over the dressing. Garnish with extra peanuts and coriander sprigs.
