Makes 4 servings.

At first, it does not seem like a great combination, but this baked cabbage is a tasty winter side dish.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 medium cabbage, about 2 pounds

COATING INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.

  2. In a small bowl combine the coating ingredients.

  3. Discard the outer cabbage leaves, cut the cabbage in half and discard most of the core. Cut the remaining cabbage into 1 inch wedges. Place the wedges on a large baking sheet (12x18) lined with heavy foil and brush with the coating.

  4. Bake for about 40 minutes. The cabbage will be soft with brown edges.

  5. Serve warm.
