Ingredients

1 large head of cabbage about 2-3 lbs or 900-1360g
2 tablespoons olive oil 30ml
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup tahini 120ml
1 lemon, juiced approximately 2 tablespoons or 30ml
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 tablespoons warm water 30-60ml
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish optional
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and slice it into 1-inch thick steaks, ensuring the core keeps each steak intact.
Brush both sides of the cabbage steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the cabbage steaks on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
While the cabbage is grilling, prepare the tahini dressing. In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time until you reach a pourable consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the cabbage steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the grilled cabbage steaks and garnish with chopped parsley and sesame seeds if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a vegan variant, ensure that the tahini is certified vegan.

The tahini dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

If you do not have a grill, these cabbage steaks can also be roasted in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
