Servings: 4 | Prep Time and Cook Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Cabbage Salad:
- 1 head cabbage
- ¼ c vegetable oil
For the Beurre Rouge:
- ½ bottle cabernet sauvignon
- ½ lb butter, diced
Directions:
For the Cabbage Salad
- Quarter the head of cabbage lengthwise. In a very hot cast iron pan or grill, place the cabbage cut side down. When light charring begins to occur, gently and carefully add the oil. Allow to sear deep brown.
- Turn the head to the other cut side and remove when equal charring occurs. Season with salt and set aside.
- Reduce the heat of the pan to medium heat and allow the cabbage to soften.
For the Beurre Rouge:
- In a medium saucepan, reduce the cabernet to a few tablespoons of liquid.
- Mount butter, one cube at a time until fully incorporated. Store warm until ready to serve. If it cools down, or boils, it will break.
- Season with salt.
To Assemble and serve:
- Transfer the cabbages to four plates, cut side up.
- Spoon the sauce over the cabbages evenly distributing all of it.
- Serve warm with a fork and knife.
