Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pointed cabbage
  • 50 gr butter
  • 2 tbsp high quality soy sauce, like Tomasu
  • 125 ml (cooking) cream (20%)
  • hazelnuts
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Prep your kamado and heat it to 180℃.

Sauce

  • Heat the butter in a sauce pan until melted and slightly golden browned (smelling of nuts) and then add the high quality soy sauce.
  • Let the liquid reduce slightly on high heat for half a minute and then add the cream. Cook for 2 minutes and then take off the heat until ready to use.

Cabbage

  • Cut the cabbage lengthwise in quarters.
  • Put some olive oil as well as pepper & salt on the cutting sides of each quarter.
  • Wrap each piece in foil.
  • Put the cabbage on the rack in your kamado and warm it for 5 minutes on all 3 sides, so for 15 minutes in total, to have it heat gradually.
  • Take the cabbage pieces out of the foil and roast them on both of their cutting sides for a few more minutes until nicely marked, but not burnt.

Hazelnuts

  • Roast a handful of hazelnuts in a dry pan.
  • Crunch the hazelnuts

Sauce again

  • Reheat the sauce if necessary and use a hand mixer or blender to foam the sauce.

Serve

  • Serve each piece of cabbage grilled side up with some foamed sauce and the crushed hazelnuts on top.
