Healthy Recipes Ingredients Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Cabbage Recipes Huli Huli Cabbage 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews This recipe draws inspiration from huli huli chicken, a Hawaiian dish featuring grilled chicken that’s turned frequently while it’s cooking (“huli” is the Hawaiian word for “turn”) and basted with a sweet and savory sauce. In this vegetarian version, we replace the chicken with cabbage wedges, and while the cabbage is turned only once, the sauce remains similar to its roots.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; reserve 1 tablespoon for serving. Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Trim stem end of cabbage; cut the head lengthwise into 4 (1-inch-thick) slices. Thread a skewer through the middle of each slice, removing any loose outer leaves. Brush both sides of the slices evenly with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with pepper. Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle Oil the grill grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil (see Tip). Place the cabbage cut-side down on the oiled grates. Brush the tops evenly with some of the sauce (about 1 tablespoon each). Grill, covered, until tender, about 8 minutes per side, brushing the flip side with the remaining sauce. Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle Transfer the cabbage to a platter. Carefully remove the skewers. Spoon the reserved sauce evenly over each steak (about 1 teaspoon each). Sprinkle with scallion (if using) and serve hot. Tip Reduce sticking by oiling your hot grill rack with an oil-soaked paper towel: hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
