No reviews

Imagine tender, caramelized cabbage steaks, kissed by high heat until their edges turn a beautiful golden brown, bursting with a mild sweetness. Paired with a cloud-like whipped feta, infused with zesty lemon and a hint of garlic, this dish is a symphony of textures and vibrant flavors. It’s surprisingly simple to make, yet elegant enough for any occasion, proving that humble ingredients can transform into something truly extraordinary and satisfying. A perfect vegetarian main or a stunning side.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large green cabbage, outer leaves removed, cut into 1-inch thick "steaks" (about 4-5)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 block (8 ounces) good quality feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup plain full-fat yogurt (or milk/water)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Roast the cabbage for 15-20 minutes, then flip them over. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are deeply golden brown and slightly charred, and the cabbage is tender.
  4. While the cabbage roasts, prepare the whipped feta. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, combine the crumbled feta, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), and dried oregano (if using).
  5. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a tiny splash more yogurt or water until it reaches a spreadable, cloud-like consistency.
  6. To serve, spread a generous dollop of whipped feta onto serving plates. Top with the warm, blistered cabbage steaks. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, toast some pine nuts or slivered almonds and sprinkle over the finished dish. A drizzle of balsamic glaze can also add a lovely tang. This dish is fantastic as a light main, a hearty side, or even as part of a mezze platter. Store leftover whipped feta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
