Red cabbage shines in this side dish with deep, savory, and nutty flavors. A good searing in the oven (or on the grill!) unlocks the veggie’s star potential, and pantry stalwarts olive oil, nuts, and good Parmigiano cheese makes this an easy weeknight gourmet option.
Get your oven really cranking and let the cabbage roast until it’s dark and crispy – a few burnt edges only add to the flavor. A touch of pureed garlic and lemon juice turn simple walnuts into a sauce with a bright, Mediterranean feel.
This would make a phenomenal side dish with just about any protein. Think about hard-boiled eggs for a warm lunch, or grilled steak, tuna or swordfish for dinner. It tastes great at room temperature, too.
