When vegetables become stars: cabbage with a difference

Who would have thought cabbage could be so tempting? This braised cabbage slices like butter and tastes like pure vegetable love! The pointed cabbage is seared in quarters until caramelized, then steamed in water until buttery soft. The herb tahini sauce made with coriander, dill, lemon, and maple syrup transforms it into a gourmet dish. The result? A cabbage so tender it melts in your mouth, yet still has a bite. Topped with dukkah (an oriental spice blend), it's a flavor explosion. In just 20 minutes, you transform a simple vegetable into a restaurant-worthy main course. Vegetable skeptics will be amazed! 🥬
