Ingredients

• 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
3. Light the paper napkins and allow the firewood to catch.
4. Wait about 20 minutes for the grill to reach optimal cooking temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the cabbage wedges

1. Brush the cabbage wedges with melted butter.
2. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
3. Place the wedges near the center of the Arteflame flat-top cooktop for high heat grilling.

Step 3: Grill the cabbage wedges

1. Cook the cabbage wedges for about 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs.
2. Grill until the edges are charred and the leaves are slightly crispy but tender inside.
3. Move the wedges to a slightly cooler area of the griddle to ensure even cooking without burning.

Step 4: Make the mustard dressing

1. In a small bowl, whisk together whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and smoked paprika.
2. Set the dressing aside until ready to drizzle over the cabbage.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the cabbage wedges from the grill.
2. Drizzle with the mustard dressing while still warm.
3. Garnish with additional parsley and serve immediately.

Tips

• For an extra smoky flavor, grill the cabbage closer to the fire initially before moving it to the flat-top griddle.
• Use butter instead of oil for richer flavor.
• If the cabbage starts to burn, move it away from the center where the heat is lower.
• To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mustard dressing.
