Caramelised and charred hispi cabbage on a bed of tomato, pea and coconut curry. A feast of vegetables and spices and makes a brilliant weekday meal.
Have you tried charred hispi/pointed cabbage? Oh my goodness, I love it! It’s totally unlike old school soggy cabbage. Charring the outside completely transforms and elevates it to something quite special–soft and buttery on the inside, crispy and caramelised on the outside.
I could wolf them down just as they are, and they are a brilliant side dish. But here I’ve combined them with a simple but delicious tomato, pea and coconut curry. I think it works so well together.
Some other delicious ways to eat your charred cabbage are; dressed with tahini dressing and dukkah, on a bed of butter bean hummus or with satay sauce and herby rice.
I hope you enjoy! Much love, Niki xxx

When you say ginger in your method do you mean ginger or tumeric as the ginger isn’t in the ingredients list? Thanks!
