Ingredients

For the red cabbage steaks

1 red cabbage (medium, about 1 kg (2.2 lb))
1 Tbsp olive oil (for the baking sheet)

For the glaze

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey
2 garlic cloves
salt and pepper (to taste)

To serve

100 gr (3.5 oz.) feta
2 Tbsp capers
30 gr (1 oz.) hazelnuts (toasted, roughly chopped, optional)
1/2 bunch parsley (optional)

Equipment: large sharp knife, baking sheet with parchment paper, small bowl, pastry brush, garlic press

Instructions

Prepare the red cabbage

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) conventional heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
2.Remove the outer leaves from the red cabbage. Using a large knife, cut the head from the top through the core into 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick slices and lay the steaks side by side on the baking sheet.

Stir together the glaze

1.Peel the garlic and chop it finely or press it.
2.In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey and garlic and season with salt and pepper.

Roast the red cabbage steaks

1.Brush the steaks with about half of the glaze.
2.Roast in the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and browned at the edges. Turn them after about 12 minutes and brush them with the rest of the glaze.

Serve

1.Crumble the feta roughly and chop the parsley.
2.Take the red cabbage steaks out of the oven, sprinkle them with feta, capers, hazelnuts and parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: a medium head gives 4 to 5 nice steaks, and I shred the outer leftovers for a red cabbage salad the next day. The darker the edges get, the better it tastes, so do not be afraid of a little color. I toast the hazelnuts briefly in a dry pan. Instead of feta, soft goat cheese works well too, and with maple syrup and vegan feta the dish is vegan.
