Oven Roasted Red Cabbage with Balsamic-Honey Marinade

Ingredients

• 1 medium Red cabbage
• 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 7 oz Fresh goat cheese ((200g))
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
• 2 tbsp fresh mint (finely chopped )
• 1 handful almonds ( roasted and chopped)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a convection (fan) oven, set it to 350°F (180°C). Cut the cabbage into 8 thick wedges. Keep a bit of the core intact so the wedges don't fall apart on the pan! Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix the whole-grain mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Brush the wedges with half of the marinade. Bake for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining marinade, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender and caramelized at the edges.

5. 5

   In a bowl or food processor, whip the goat cheese with heavy cream and honey until smooth.

6. 6

   Fold in the chopped mint, the zest of the lemon and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped goat cheese dip onto the bottom of each plate. Top with two warm roasted cabbage wedges. Sprinkle with the crushed roasted almonds and fresh mint leaves.
