Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
Roast the walnuts on a baking tray for 3-4 mins until golden and fragrant. Cool fully
Whisk the oil, lemon and orange juice, mustard, thyme, capers and garlic together until evenly combined. Spoon half the dressing all over the cabbage quarters, encouraging it between the layers. Place on a large baking tray, cut side up, and roast for 20-25 mins until the cabbage is starting to soften but retains its crunch and is lightly charred.
Mix the walnuts, lemon and orange zest, parsley and a grind of black pepper together until evenly combined.
Arrange the roasted cabbage on a serving platter and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Sprinkle with the parsley and walnut gremolata and serve immediately.
