Here’s a delicious idea with sweetheart cabbage that really shows off its sweet flavour. Pan-fried, roasted and pan-fried again with a miso butter, this adventurous side is totally worth the effort. Finish with fresh chilli, coriander and toasted sesame seeds for a final hit of flavour. Serve with a roast or some pan-fried chicken or fish.

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large frying pan. Working in two batches, fry the cabbage halves, cut-side down, for 5 mins until dark golden. Transfer to a roasting tray, cut-side up, and roast in the oven for 25-30 mins until lightly charred and tender.
Meanwhile, wipe the pan clean and toast the sesame seeds over a medium heat for 4 mins, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
Beat the softened butter with the miso paste, lime zest and juice and coriander stalks until smooth and combined.
Once the cabbages are roasted, return the pan to a medium heat and melt the miso butter. When bubbling, add the cabbage halves to the pan, cut-side down, turning the cabbages as you baste with the miso butter for 3-4 mins until golden and coated.
Serve immediately, scattered with the chilli, toasted sesame seeds and coriander leaves.
