Ingredients
- 1 x Top Tomato green cabbage
- 5-8 August's Harvest black garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of Olive Farm olive oil
- 2 x Homestead Farm egg yolks
- 1 tsp salt and pepper to taste
Method
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Cut & Roast Your Cabbage
Cut your cabbage into wedges starting from the top of the cabbage and working your way to the bottom. Cutting the cabbage this way will help keep all the layers of cabbage leaves in tact.
Pour olive oil into a small bowl with salt and pepper, stir well.
Arrange your cabbage wedges on your prepared baking sheet and brush both slides of the cabbage with your olive oil, salt and pepper mixture.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes then carefully flip cabbage over and let roast for an additional 30 minutes.
This cooking time will depend on the size of your cabbage. The one used in this recipe was quite large so it's best to check at the 15 minute mark to see how the cabbage looks and if it is ready to flip. You really want a golden brown on the tops of your cabbage wedges!
Make Your Black Garlic Aioli
While your cabbage is roasting, make your black garlic aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together your two Homestead egg yolks and lemon juice.
Transfer this to a food processor and while the processor is running, start drizzling in your olive oil.
If the mixture starts to break down, stop adding the oil and keep processing until it comes together again. Then continue adding the oil.
Take your black garlic cloves and, using the side of the blade of your chefs knife, carefully crush the black garlic cloves to create a paste like you're spreading butter on toast. The cloves are very soft so this will not take much pressure.
Once you have the paste, add this to the food processor with some salt and pepper and continue mixing until combined. Set aside.
Get Ready to Serve!
Once your cabbage wedges are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle with black garlic aioli.
You can garnish with some green onions or sliced pietro peppers for a little bit of heat! Enjoy.
