This baking method requires that the cabbage spend a long time in the oven. The results are wonderfully cooked cabbage, with charred edges (some of my guests think that the charred bits are the best of the lot). You may, or you may not like cabbage; however, you are going to love this recipe. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
