Steamed cabbage with sunflower seed dressing
0 Likes
Inspired by a London restaurant, this Ukrainian twist on a Japanese goma dressing uses sunflower seeds for a unique and flavorful touch. Perfect for steamed or roasted vegetables, with the option to increase the intensity by roasting the cabbage wedges. Opt for a nutty oil for enhanced flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 100 g sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons mild vinegar (cider or rice vinegar is good), or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unrefined sunflower oil (or sesame, rapeseed, or another nutty oil)
  • 1 pointed (Hispi) cabbage or regular white cabbage
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Spread sunflower seeds on a baking tray and roast for 6-8 minutes until golden and fragrant. Grind most of the roasted seeds into a paste, leaving some for topping. Transfer the paste to a bowl and mix in vinegar, honey, soy or salt, and nutty oil until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste. If desired, thin out the dressing with a splash of hot water. Steam the cabbage for 10-15 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly, then brush on the sunflower seed dressing and sprinkle with reserved seeds before serving.
