Ingredients
- 3 red cabbage whole
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste, sea salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup tahini
- ½ cup goat cheese
- 2 cups nuts assorted
- 2 cups seeds assorted
Instructions
- Add whole cabbage to a large pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, about 1-1.5 hours. If water doesn't cover cabbage completely, rotate the cabbage occasionally to cook evenly.
- Preheat the gas side of the Cuisinart Twin Oaks Pellet & Gas Grill to high. Once soft, remove cabbage from water and drain. When cool enough to handle, slice each head of cabbage in half and place, cut side up, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle each half with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and let roast until the outside leaves and the tops are blackened, about 1 hour or so. Remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes.
- When ready to serve, gently break apart each cabbage half, then drizzle with tahini, sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese, then toss nuts and seeds over the top. Serve hot.

Notes
- use whatever nuts and seeds you have on-hand, though I personally used marcona almonds, cashews, pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and sunflower seeds.
- For more tang, swap the goat cheese with thick, full-fat greek yogurt, or some fresh labneh
