Grilled Cabbage

One of my favorite things about summer is grilling and one of my favorite things to grill is cabbage.  

Our relatives Don and Ruthie shared how they make grilled cabbage with us a few years ago and we have been making it ever since.  

This is so simple...a head of cabbage, butter, a little onion if you like, and salt and pepper.  

You simply wrap it all in foil and grill till tender and caramelized on the edges.  

Simply delicious...buttery tender cabbage with caramelized edges.  

This simple, delicious recipe for grilled cabbage is as easy as it gets.  You can grill a whole cabbage or cut it in half and grill two sections.  I started cutting it in half to try to cook a little faster and to get more caramelized edges.  

You will need:

1 head cabbage
butter
onion (optional)
salt and pepper
foil

Cut out the core of the cabbage.  Cut a deep whole into the center of the cabbage so that you can stuff butter and onion into the cabbage.  

Salt and pepper the inside and outside of the cabbage.  Stuff butter and small onion chunks into the center of the cabbage.  I use 1/2 stick butter or more.  You want to use enough butter to give it flavor and moisture.  

Fold foil up around cabbage and seal it before putting it on the grill.  Grill directly on the grill rack at a low to medium heat for an hour or more until the cabbage is tender.  You can turn the heat up at the end if needed to cook meat along with the cabbage.  I don't turn the cabbage or flip it because I want to keep all of the butter inside.
