Ingredients:
For the Tahini Dressing:
- 100g Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 50ml olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 small clove of garlic (or half, if large), minced
Method:

- Place the cabbage quarters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle with a dash of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Bake for 30 minutes, checking after 15 minutes to ensure the cabbage isn't browning too quickly. If it starts to darken, cover the cabbage with aluminium foil and continue baking.
- While the cabbage is roasting, prepare the tahini dressing by blending all the ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Once the cabbage is done, serve it warm or cold, drizzled with the tahini dressing.
