Charred Hispi Cabbage with Sesame Edamame & Gomashio
The most delicious charred cabbage served with a fresh and tasty sesame edamame salad and crunchy, salty gomashio sprinkle.
I created this fresh and lovely charred hispi cabbage dish with sesame edamame and gomashio using a gorgeous organic cabbage from Abel & Cole.
I love taking one fresh ingredient and then creating something delicious with store cupboard ingredients. And charring hispi is one of my favourite things to do–the flavour is fantastic.
Tips;
The dressed edamame beans make a great base for a salad–just add roast veg, leaves, fresh veggies–your preference.
The gomashio is one of my favourite sprinkles to have a pot of. It adds crunch and nutty saltiness. Sprinkle on top of salads, soups, stews, dal, etc.
If you can’t get a hispi cabbage–you can roast a white or red cabbage or use roast aubergine.
