Ingredients
- 1 red cabbage cut in 1-inch steaks
- 2 Gala Braeburn or Fuji apples, unpeeled and thinly sliced
- 2 red onions thinly sliced
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Dressing
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp petimezi
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 3 Tbsp whole almonds
- 4 Tbsp whole hazelnuts
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400F.
-
Place the red cabbage steaks on a parchment-lined baking tray. Mix the olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, petimezi, and a pinch of fresh thyme. Using a pastry brush, coat the red cabbage steaks on both sides with this. The apple only needs to be coated with olive oil and petimezi, no other sauce or dressing. Bake the steaks and apple slices in the oven. Remove the steaks and apple slices after 15 minutes. Leave the apple slices aside. Turn the red cabbage steaks, add the whole almonds as well as the hazelnuts and put them back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
-
Remove the red cabbage steaks from the oven and place them on a serving dish. Place the apple slices between and around the red cabbage steaks. Then add the roasted almonds and hazelnuts. Pick some thyme leaves and sprinkle them and season the dish to taste.
