Charred Cabbage with Whipped Miso Garlic Sauce

This recipe is inspired by @christinasots! Her recipes are so dreamy, and we really love how she makes vegan food look (and taste!) so luscious and creamy.

Yield: 6 Wedges & about 2 cups sauce

Ingredients

1 head green cabbage, cut into 6 even wedges

1/4 cup olive oil

1 full head garlic, about 8 to 10 cloves

salt & pepper, to taste

1 package/block soft silken tofu

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons white miso

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

chili crisp or other hot sauce, optional

Method

Preheat oven to 425F.

Arrange cabbage, cut side up, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment.

Rub olive oil all over the cabbage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until edges have charred. Carefully remove from oven and rotate cabbage to cut side down. Cover pan with foil and return to oven for an additional 30 minutes to steam.

Using an immersion blender, whip together tofu, nutritional yeast, rice vinegar, roasted garlic from the pan, sesame oil, and miso until smooth and silky.

To serve, layer a generous amount of the sauce on a plate, place cabbage on top of sauce, drizzle with more sauce, and sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds.

If desired, drizzle with chili crisp for a touch of heat.

Enjoy!
