Charred Cabbage with Pistachio Sauce
Smoky charred cabbage wedges served warm and topped with a creamy, vibrant pistachio yogurt sauce for a bold yet comforting vegetable dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6 thick wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, unsalted
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat until hot.
- Brush the cabbage wedges on both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Add a light drizzle of olive oil to the hot skillet.
- Place the cabbage wedges cut side down in the skillet without overcrowding.
- Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply charred on the outside and tender inside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine pistachios, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Transfer the charred cabbage to a serving plate and spoon the pistachio sauce generously over the warm wedges.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Allow the pan to fully heat before adding cabbage to achieve a proper char.
- Do not flip the cabbage too early, letting it sit undisturbed helps caramelization.
- The pistachio sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with dairy free yogurt.
