Why This Recipe Works

Grilling cabbage wedges reveals a sweet and tender side of this humble vegetable. Paired with a zesty tomato and coconut salad, it becomes a sophisticated side dish.

Instructions

Prepare the coconut and tomato salad by mixing all ingredients in a bowl; if using desiccated coconut, let it sit with a little boiling water first to fluff it up.

Quarter the cabbages lengthways and brush the cut sides with oil. Heat a griddle pan until it is smoking hot so the cabbage sizzles immediately upon contact.

Grill the wedges for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are lightly charred on the outside and tender all the way through.

Toss the fresh salad mixture into the pan for just a few seconds to warm it through, then pile the cabbage on a plate and top with the coconut dressing.

Storage: The salad can be made ahead, but the cabbage is best served hot off the grill.
