BBQ cabbage with mustard and chive dressing

It’s going to be a hot summer it seems, and we’ve already been trying out vegetarian dishes on the BBQ.  This simple charred cabbage dish,  served up by a friend on a trip to the beach was definitely a favourite. Serves four as part of an alfresco feast. 

1 sweetheart cabbage

Olive oil

1 Tbsp White wine vinegar 

2 Tbsp Fresh chives 

1tsp Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper

Smoked paprika

Cut the cabbage into quarters lengthways (don’t remove the core as it will help to hold it together)Brush generously With olive oil and place over medium coals. Using tongs turn the cabbage frequently so that it it is charred but cooks evenly without burning. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Whisk three tablespoons of olive oil with the vinegar, mustard, chives and season liberally with salt and pepper. Remove the cabbage from the grill and Cut each quarter in half lengthways. Pour the dressing over the top While it is still hot. Sprinkle a little smoked paprika over the top. Mix gently and serve.
