More Grilled Cabbage

July 12, 2010

On Sunday night J. grilled so much summer squash, zucchini, and onions that he had to do it in two batches, completely covering the grill with vegetables each time. We ate some and I’ll use the rest during the week, either on sandwiches or in pasta.

We also cut our small red cabbage into wedges, drizzled it with olive oil, and seasoned it with salt and pepper. Cooked right on the grates, the leaves got a nice char on them, and stayed firm, not mushy. I really loved the flavor of the cabbage cooked this way, but as J. put it, “It’s still cabbage.” Well, I like cabbage so this is a great additional way to prepare it. The spare, crisp flavor was a good contrast to the rich marinated steaks J. grilled alongside.

Sweet Potato and Gruyère Turnovers: These easy pockets (using pre-made, refrigerated dough) sound delicious to me, and even include swiss chard -- something I always seem to have in my fridge from our CSA.

Cook to This

"Kids" by MGMT. Truly bizarre video, but a song that always perks my ears up when I hear it on the radio. They're a 21st century update of synth-pop bands I loved in the late 80s/early 90s (hello, New Order).
