Whole Roasted Cabbage with Garlic, Butter, and Cilantro

Ingredients

• 1 whole cabbage (Cut off the top and hollow out the center.)
• 3 tbsp olive oil (For rubbing over the entire surface of the cabbage.)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika (Also referred to as pimentón.)

• 3 tbsp butter
• fresh cilantro (Chopped, to taste.)
• water (A splash, to add to the central cavity.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut off the top of the cabbage. Using a knife and a spoon, hollow out the center to form a deep cavity.

2. 2

   Spread a sheet of aluminum foil over a baking tray and place the hollowed-out cabbage on top.

3. 3

   Rub the 3 tbsp of olive oil over the entire outer surface of the cabbage.

4. 4

   Season the cabbage inside and out with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and chili flakes.

5. 5

   Place the chopped fresh garlic, butter, and chopped fresh cilantro inside the central cavity.

6. 6

   Add a splash of water to the cavity.

7. 7

   Wrap the cabbage completely in the aluminum foil, making sure it is well sealed.

8. 8

   Bake at 200 °C for 2 hours.

9. 9

   Remove the cabbage from the oven and, before serving, baste it with the melted butter remaining in the center or inside the foil.
