Charred Hispi Cabbage with Tomato, Pea and Coconut Curry

October 3, 2019 / Niki / 6 Comments

Have you tried charred hispi/pointed cabbage? Oh my goodness, I love it! Its totally unlike old school soggy cabbage. Charring the outside completely transforms and elevates it to something quite special – soft and buttery on the inside, cispy and caramelised on the outside.

I could wolf them down just as they are, and they are a brilliant side dish. But here I’ve combined them with a simple but delicious tomato, pea and coconut curry. I think it works so well together.

Some delicious ways to eat your charred cabbage;

Dressed with tahini dressing and dukka

On a bed of butter bean hummus

With satay sauce and herby rice

I hope you enjoy! Much love, Niki xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

When you say ginger in your method do you mean ginger or tumeric as the ginger isn’t in the ingredients list? Thanks!
